I should say that this TV was a table top and not a console.

The name on the pencil box looks to short to be Muntz, looks like RCA to me.

In that time frame, it would have said "RCA Victor"... look closely at my avatar. http://www.tvhistory.tv/1954-RCA-CT100-color.JPG

The name does look shorter but it's not RCA and the plate does look exactly like it otherwise. Perhaps a set Muntz built for someone else? Not too many names shorter than Muntz though.

I'm thinking it might be an Arvin model 8179-TM.

It has the same mask but the knobs are slightly different.

Very likely close, but knob/crt width ratio says 21" to me... note that the Arvin next to it (8171) in the brochure seems to have knobs that better match your set.

Wow, you are right about the knobs. I see what you mean on it being a 21 incher.

Then perhaps a 2162A?
