  • The wonderful George Fenneman.

  • we used these in the 80s but used spray snow with them, who's with me 70s and 80s kids!? I miss them. I want some right now. I love decorating!

  • We used to spray canned "snow" on stencils like these to make such designs on our windows at Christmas time. This commercials brings back such great memories! I wonder whether kids today would enjoy doing this.

  • @karlakor I remember this spot, and it brings back lots of memories for me as well. OUR YOUTH Yoooooo

  • I just saw a blurb on this very product in this month's Reminisce magazine. the magazine featured that exact set of stencils w/ the girl on the front

  • the guy in this commercial was the announcer for the old Groucho Marx "You Bet Your Life" game show

  • Wow! I so remember this - my mom bought some of these stencils and let me decorate the windows at our Hometown, IL apartment complex at W 88th Street. Thanks for the great memories!

  • We did this at our house too. I wonder if car wax would work? Think I'll try it on a large mirror this year with spray snow.

  • I remember using Glass Wax stencils every Christmas when we were kids. We mixed in food coloring to get more colors than just the pink color right out of the can.

  • Oh Lord ... Please make memories like this for my Grandkids

  • cool to see again !

  • Wow this really takes me back. Is Glass Wax actually still being sold ?

  • Where can you get the original glass awx by Gold Seal?

  • This was ALWAYS a tradition during the christmas holidays of the late 50's and 60's at our house as i grew up, we all participated,mom & dad & all the kids. Somethings i guess you never forget. You stirred alot of good memories here with this commercial. WOW!!! Funny i can remember when my folks continued for years with the stencils, but switched to the spraycan snow TOO!!!!! HAHAHAHA:):):):):)

  • @welder541 Every time I see it I think the same thing.

  • It wasn't as easy as George Fenneman made it sound! If your windows sweated--as ours did when I was growing up--the Glass Wax ran down the windows like mascara from a crying woman's eyes... we kept the stencils and used spray snow instead...not pretty in pink like Glass Wax, but an easy way to create our own "window wonderland."

  • Window Wax just like Glass Wax and you can order from Vermont Country Store; great stuff and fun.

  • Comment removed

  • can you do it with Windex?

  • someone has glass wax stencils listed on ebay right now

  • That's veteran announcer George Fenneman (best known as Groucho's announcer/foil on "YOU BET YOUR LIFE") pitching "Glass Wax" in this 1966 ad- and the girl is famed child actress Pamelyn Ferdin.

  • I remember doing this at Christmas once! I think it was only the one year but I remember it so clearly. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!

  • OMG my mother LOVED doing this in the 60's

  • I found some stencils in a store and ordered glass wax (still looks like in the commercial) from Vermont country store (on line and catalogs) My daughter and friend had a great time. Just like when I was a kid.

  • As I watched this I was wondering if they still made glass wax....thanks for letting us know where to get it! What great memories, thanks for posting!

  • I am so thrilled that you have all this old classic/vintage stuff. Glad it hasn't been lost forever like so many movies, etc have been.
