IIRC, that TV set looks like a GE model (when GE meant General Electric, not.....well, you know) from about 1962 or earlier. No UHF, so it must be from the very early '60s or even late '50s, before all-channel tuning was mandatory in this country. I remember seeing a few of those sets when I was growing up in the late '60s-early '70s, when people held on to their old TVs until they fell apart. Those older sets were built to last; most folks really did hold on to them until the wheels fell off, so to speak.
BTW: What hotel did the magazine containing that picture come from? Just curious.
