The coolest pair of rabbit ears I've ever seen!
Grabbed this today at a flea market for $2. I'm going to use it as an FM antenna, but I thought that you TV guys would appreciate it. It's hard to tell from the pic, but the spheres on the antenna tips are the same marbled red/brown Bakelite as the base. I need to clean and polish the arms, they're a bit dirty and rusty.

Really funny how these things work. We went through an antique mall today and there was a set of rabbit ears still in the box, $5. They look identical to these! I bought 'em 'cause, heck, they are neat looking. Although the box calls them a "colortenna" or some such, they look straight outta the Ralph Kramden era.

I'm not into old TV in any way, however, I can't pass on a neat set of antenni. I have a set somewhere with Saturn and it's rings on the tips.

Dang, those things are cool! I'd buy those in a minute, if they showed up around here for a remotely reasonable price. I'm not sure if they were ever sold in these parts, though; I see other old rabbit ears sometimes, but nothing that neat-looking! Congratulations!

Oh no, if the Audio people find out about Rabbit Ears the price will go through the roof!

very cool! I use rabbit ears on one of my tuners, but it's hiding behind my record shelves because it doesn't look as cool as that one.

Once I get things running again, these might end up doing antenna duty on one of my tube receivers.

Cool looking antennas
The classic ball style are nice, but don't limit yourself!
A whole collection of Bunny-ears are out there, including some unbelievable varieties, that worked as well (as poorly?), but will really stand out in a crowd. I've attached a picture of 3 flocked(!) antennas, I bought a year or two ago..and they just make you want to say, 'What the Hey?? I've got to get me one of them there!' These have twin-lead running out of their ... well you get the idea.

Those animal antennas are odd. When were they made?
