As to the second set, the 21-CT-55, let me speculate that the 21AXP22 21-inch metal-cone color CRT was actually introduced in 1954 and by the end of 1954 the 21-CT-55, known sometimes as the 'Spectacular' in a vintage photo, was also available. To confirm, we can/should inspect the CTC2B chassis for their production data stamps.

As an owner of a 21CT55, where specificly does one find the date codes and how do I interpret them? Also, can you clarify for me the known survivors? I’m not sure what it means on the ETF site that in bold letters, 39 (1) CTC4 appears and then a number of sets appear below. Were a number of 21CTC55 found with CTC4 chassis in it? My cabinet has three matching stampings, “1954”, ironically the same year of production. CTC2B chassis.
