I spy a roundie...

This image is from a 1959 photoessay on modern house appliances for Life™ Magazine.

I immediately noticed the RCA roundie that the little boy is watching... I am sure you guys can identify the model.

Sadly the image is in black and white but I suspect so was the program the boy is watching...

I think it's a 1957 RCA Model 21-CD-7897

It's also a CTC5 chassis.

Could they be watching some version of "Learn to Draw"?

Looks like its an art school, a private one with $$ for color - or the nanny's room in an estate. Very interesting, thanks!

The photo comes from an article on the "modern home" ...the house was full of the latest electrical appliances from GE and RCA ...not sure of the link between the owner of the home .. the electrical items or Life™ magazine
