This is an authentic December 1975 Daisy BB-gun Christmas print advertisement removed from an original issue of Boys’ Life magazine.
Great for framing and display.
The colorful advertisement prominently features a Daisy Model 1894 “Spittin’ Image” lever-action BB gun displayed beneath a Christmas tree. The smaller inset also pictures the Daisy Model 25 and Model 99.
The headline reads, “If your first Daisy seems smaller now, come size up a new one.”
Please note that this listing is for the original paper advertisement only. No BB gun, air rifle, ammunition, catalog, box, or accessories are included.
OVERVIEW
The advertisement was aimed at young Daisy owners who had outgrown their first BB gun and were ready for a larger model with more weight, barrel length, power, and accuracy.
It encouraged buyers to compare the different Daisy models and select a sturdy Western or Monte Carlo stock. It also offered a 24-page full-color Daisy consumer catalog for 25 cents.
The Christmas imagery, colorful ornaments, Western-style Model 1894, and additional Model 25 and Model 99 illustrations make this an excellent display piece for a Daisy collector, vintage sporting-goods collection, gun room, office, garage, or man cave.

AUTHENTICITY AND PHOTOGRAPHS
Every vintage print advertisement I sell is an authentic original removed from an original period publication. I do not sell reproductions, copies, or modern reprints.
I personally inspect and photograph every advertisement. The item shown in the photographs is the exact item you will receive. I do not use stock photographs or photographs taken from other sellers.
Lighting and screen settings can sometimes make colors appear slightly different. If an exact color is important to you, please message me before purchasing, and I will gladly check it for you.
Questions are always welcome. If you need another photograph, measurement, or additional information, please ask before purchasing.
VINTAGE PAPER INFORMATION
Because this is authentic vintage paper, normal age-related wear may be present. This can include light wear along the binding edge, minor fading, printing smudges, or ink variations that occurred during the original printing process. Any noticeable moisture damage, staining, or color bleeding will be clearly disclosed.
Small staple holes from the original binding may be present along the edge. These are a normal result of removing an original advertisement from a vintage publication and will not be listed separately unless they are unusual or excessive.
Natural age toning, darkening, or occasional foxing may be present on vintage paper. I do not sell paper items with mold, mildew, unpleasant odors, or pest damage.
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
The advertisement will be carefully placed inside a clear protective plastic sleeve and shipped in a rigid stay-flat mailer marked “DO NOT BEND.”
Shipping is a flat $8.77 through USPS Ground Advantage. Orders are processed within one business day.
I gladly offer combined shipping when you purchase multiple advertisements. Please add the items to your cart and request a combined invoice before paying so I can adjust the shipping charge.

Thirty-day returns are accepted. The buyer is responsible for return shipping.
I leave response for every buyer.
