Identify this ...
Can anyone identify the camera in this photo, film stock, time frame?
The television is a Du Mont Mansfield RA-108, 1949. Wondering if they were making a TV commercial or something else? This photo was just published on the ETF site.

Sure looks like a Mitchell.
So a movie 35mm camera and a boom mike with lots of Christmas color. Looks like a real image on the TV. This era is before my time (born 1946) what were they doing? Besides a TV commercial in black and white, could it be an advertisement during a major movie release at the movie theaters kinda like Movie Time News?

The photograph itself doesn't look that old. The décor of the house suggests late 80s up to present. Maybe somebody just... had a tv, film camera, boom mic, and lots of stuffed animals in their house and felt like taking a picture... around Christmas time. Hell if I know why.

Yeah, the red tinsel stuff on the camera tripod and mike boom suggest that a TV collector type was just having fun around the holidays.
Why would anyone stage a whimsical holiday photo? Hmm, let me think . . . . Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios https://antiqueradio.org/index.html |

Got it. :-)
Thought the same thing about the tinsel.

Those vertical slat blinds behind the set also suggest a later time (wasn't it the 70's-80's when those caught on? ). The blue and white wires circling the room by the base board also suggest a later date (the blue makes me think cat5 LAN cable)...A 50's film set would not run visible base board wires unless it was 1-2' of Dumont power cord to an outlet or that distinctive 300 ohm antenna twin lead (and even that they would probably try to hide).

I thought the slat blindes was wainscoting or paneling with room reflections. The plush carpeting and period colors look authentic. The tinsel and cable suggest a later time.
I agree, some collector having fun.
