Emmett Till's family TV set
Emmett Till was the kid who was killed in Mississippi in 1955.
![]() Looks like the TV has a CBS channel 2 on. Likely in Chicago, not Mississippi, if what I find on the 'net is accurate... The TV looks to be fairly new for 1955, Wonder what make and model it was. Think someone said it was a Philco?

Looks very similar to the 1953 Philcos that both my wife and I remember from childhood (which I still have). Both were purchased late in 1952, and had the optional UHF tuner installed in the center. This appears to be a fancy 21" set with doors, but no UHF.

It was a two tube unit that received it's operating voltages from the piggy back adaptor that plugged into the audio output tube socket. It must've been a more expensive option because many of the Philco owner's opted for the set top convertor. I have a Philco set top convertor in my collection. A wood cabinet with a bit of gold trim. |
