VERY COOL. Love that movie..so I really appreciate you showing those props...seemed like better times in those days....
Great collection, thanks for sharing. Here is my display.
I'm planning something similar to show off my 4 Christmas Dream rifles. I'm thinking build a shadowbox out of a hardwood, dovetail it together, build a face-frame with a lexan inset, felt field, the rifles, some pics, a target, and the red ryder ad from the back of the boy's life from the beginning of the movie. I've started to piece the ad together (it was fabricated) from original red ryder content, however the two red-ryder graphics on it appear to have been drawn specifically for the movie, and don't match anything available on vintage ads or comics.
Please do. I'm just about to give my SIL what I've got as she is a graphic designer. Maybe she can put it together for me. It is a fabricated ad, however is composed of some actual Daisy graphics, with some of them created specifically for the movie. If you find it, please let me know if it is the same. I'd gladly pay for one.If I can remember correctly, the Christmas Story House gift shop sold prints of that Ad on nice paper in hi resolution, suitable for framing. I bought one and have to dig it out of a box to check if it is the same one.
We will see what can be done. THe main graphic you can't really get a straight-on full/shot of. Have to extrapolate...should be easy to put together for the ad. , Illustrator and photoshop will do it fine

Thanks for looking. That is an actual ad, not the one fabricated for the movie, which indeed was for a 200 shot range-model air rifle (which never existed).I am not sure if this is screen accurate, I canot recall and it has been a while since I watched it to compare. They sold these when the gift shop at the museum first opened... not too sure they still have them.

Update.... THE MORE I RECALL, IT IS NOT THE AD IN THE FILM. The ad in the film as a 200 shot rifle. this is 1,000 shot....sorry, wish it would have helped.
These are all OUTSTANDING collections. But the one item everyone needs to add..... Ralphie's glasses with the broken lense.
Was the Little Orphan Annie Decoder ring used in the movie Christmas Story a actual piece or made up prop? I seen a few on ebay, but they dont resemble the one in the film.
