There were several formats advertised as being home video formats well before it was really practical.
The Wesgrove and Telcan high speed lienar machines were advertised in the UK in the 1960s but never made it to market. I think they only just about worked and I know of no surviving examples. The Ampex 1" VR5xxx/7xxx series were tentatively offered as domestic formats despite being far to big and expensive.
