From Cartoon Brew:
"Someone posted the original GE commercials, the open and end titles from the original 1964 NBC airing of Rankin Bass’ Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer on YouTube. It’s a black and white kinescope featuring Santa’s Elves showing off the latest GE appliances, and some bonus shots of the voice cast to wish you Season’s Greetings. The unidentified actors pictured are Janis Orenstein (Clarice), Paul Kliegman (Donner and The Coach) and Paul Soles (Hermey), then Paul Soles, Billie Mae Richards (Rudolph), Carl Banas and Alfie Scopp (Charlie-In-The-Box)."

Very cool, thanks for posting it. I love old kinescope recordings; such a clumsy technology, but it was state of the art for nearly 15-20 years.

Thanks for this! It sent me off on a journey through YouTube and Wikipedia.
It was cool to learn the origins of the animation and discover who the voice actors were. My fav of course...Yukon Cornelius!

Quality control must have been better back then. We still use that same electric knife.

Some technologies get to a point where they simply don't get better because they can't or there's no economic reason for it to. The electric can opener I bought earlier this year is functionally identical to the one my family had in the 70's, just in a sexy sleek black package instead of the art deco looking whice plastic one.
I do recall seeing that same knife in use at people's homes from time to time.

Rudolf is by far my favorite Christmas special of all time...not sure if you're aware...but as a proud Canadian I'm happy to point out that most of the voices from the 1964 classic are Toronto voice actors.
Billie Mae Richards...Rudolf
Larry Mann...Yukon Cornelius
Carl Banas...Head Elf, Spotted Elephant, Boat that couldn't float and assorted other voices
Paul Soles...Hermie the Dentist |

We had some of that stuff at home while growing up. The hairdryer- what a trip down memory lane.

Not long ago I went looking for a cheap electric knife. It is the ideal tool for cutting acoustic foam like Sonex, Auralex, etc.
