That is a 16 inch Philco, I can't tell from the picture if it's a table model or console. Looks similar to the one my Aunt bought around 1951 or so, and was the first TV I remember seeing. My Uncle was in the Navy and my Aunt lived with my Grandmother and she had the set there. Dad fixed it for her a few times but somewhere around 1959 she replaced it with a 21" RCA console. The Philco stayed at my Grandmothers house until she passed away in 1983. When my Aunts and Uncles were cleaning out the house my Aunt gave me the set, I've still got it in and intend to get around to restoring it hopefully soon.

I'm sure you meant to put the picture in there, but...

Found this picture on the Internet. Don't know where or when it was taken, but it sure is a nice picture:

I just bought this one at an Internet auction tonight. Picture is too small for me to be able to identify the TV, so I can't say if it is a Brazilian or American set:

New one that I bought yesterday. I am pretty sure that the TV shown is a 1956 Philips.

Captain Video, I always liked the table with the legs comming out behind the Young Man. You would always stub a toe on them... Great Picture

Second Marriage?
This shot is taken from a vintage 3D stereo slide of a (slightly) older pair of newlyweds. The caption reads: The Bride and Groom on Wed. Day--Cora and Bert. The RCA tv looks like an early color set...well, as much color as that blue/clear/green cellophane will allow.
What's the deal with that antenna? It looks like it will pick up signals from outer space! And how about that Chinese-themed tv lamp? The stuff on the tv is almost more interesting than the set itself. |

VERY cool antenna. Looks like some artfact from a 50's sci-fi movie.
My mother remenbers those plastic sheets to "simulate" color on a B/W set. She actually had one in her house, in the 60's. I also like the glasses the man is wearing on. I want to find a pair of glasses like that for me someday. The TV is almost like the one on the marriage picture I posted. |

1955 Viking (?) TV in motel circa 1963
Here is a postcard issued by Motel Trans-Canada in Villeroy (Quebec),
a place that still exists to this day: http://www.lodging-quebec.com/centre.../villeroy.html The TV shown is what I believe a 1955 21-inch Viking (made by Electrohome for Eaton's), that must have been regarded as fairly reliable as it was at least 8 years old when this card was issued. The Trans-Canada Highway that gives its name to the motel was opened in 1963 IIRC. Regards. |

Emmett Till pictured at his Chicago home at Christmas 1954, next to a TV set. Tribune. Wonder what brand TV that was. This was the kid who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955 and his slaying has been cited as one of the key events that energized the American Civil Rights Movement.

I am pretty sure that Emmett Till's TV is a Philco.
