The Unforgettable Buzz Electric Football Christmas Catalog Countdown

The 1955 Spiegel Christmas Catalog

Electric Football history was chronicled by the Christmas catalogs of Sears, Montgomery Ward, and others for over 30 years. These catalogs were a vital source of information to us as we wrote The Unforgettable Buzz. Not only did they give us a visual record of Electric Football evolution, they also helped put each year in context in terms of living trends and home technology.

So with the Holiday Season upon us, we’re going to turn to those wonderful catalogs for the next month with the first annual Unforgettable Buzz Christmas Catalog Countdown.

During the Christmas Catalog Countdown we will be posting at least one new Christmas catalog page every day — from now until December 25. Posts will be here on the website as well as on our Facebook page, so be sure to check to keep an eye on both sites.

To kick things off we featuring the colorful sports game page from the 1955 Spiegel Christmas Catalog.

On some days we will have multiple Catalog Countdown posts, so don’t touch that dial. It should get pretty exciting over the next month. Everyday will be Christmas morning!
