It is sad that the majority of pics in this topic were lost.
Anyway, here is a picture that a guy sent me by email some time ago. It is him sometime in the late 60's with a Invictus TV set on top a record player. I have a TV of this same model and he was trying to persuade me to sell it to him, because he wanted to recreate this photo. |

Here's a great one in 3-D! To see it in depth, just slightly cross your eyes until you see THREE images. Concentrate and focus on the middle image and it should pop into depth.
On the slide mount is written, "Sis. Taken Christmas week, 1956," it is a wonderful 1950s tableau with the "roundie" television and plastic cover over the chair. Since there is light coming through the window, it's not late enough for primetime, so the program of children dressed in their best (probably singing Christmas songs), is likely to be a local broadcast. Not only a great slice of Americana, but an impressive (or lucky) exposure on ASA 10 Kodachrome. |

Fun stuff! Tip: once you are focused on the center 3D image, you can move your hands up like blinders to block the left and right peripheral images.

Great! I used to do the cross-eyed 3-D thing, can still do it. Kinda headachey though, if you do it too long. Our mammas used to tell us not to cross our eyes, they'd get stuck that way! Or put beans up our nose.

That is nice to see. I tried looking at it "wall-eyed" (the opposite of cross-eyed; basically, letting your eyes drift the other direction as if focusing on a distant object), and the 3-D effect did not work. It probably would if I copied and edited the picture to reverse the two halves.

I have a few TVs in 3D here http://www.wa2ise.com/3d.html and a whole bunch of radios. Sometimes someone on ebay will take multiple pictures, and create a pair that can be made to do 3D.

"It's not working for me" LOL
Actually it worked great, my eyes do hurt a little though. If you wear glasses it might work better if you take them off, did for me anyhow. |

Doncha just LOVE how stuffy, formal 1950s types in dresses 'n' suits are lotsa times splayed out all over the floor like last week's wash when watchin' a TeeVee in an ad ?!? TV watching was OBVIOUSLY subversive...Hell, next thing you know, men will take off their suit jackets 'n' ties (Gasp !) & WOMEN will start wearin' PANTS !! (The HORROR...) (grin)

Not a black and white TV, but to "me" it's MY old TV and loved it till I killed it (I was a curious kid when I was young and sadly didn't know any better).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0427.jpg (I took that picture.. As a kid I was in love with this set, even taking pics of it while playing the NES game World Class Track Meet - When it was new!!) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...dragon/YOU.jpg Yes, that's me.. Ironically I work for one of the companies that has it's stocks shown on that TV. |

Bought this, arrived today
Two pictures of a woman with her TV set, I believe the photo with the set turned on was taken in the early 60's and the other in the late 50's. I suspect the TV is a Philco:

More two pictures that I bought
One from the 60's shows a Philips set. The other is obviously from the 50's, with a TV that I couldn't identify:

resembles a Capehart we used to have. It was the first TV I remember seeing.

My mother and father (on floor), each with their first sets. Nice Emerson radio on top on my Dad's set.
