The first thing noted is the golden anniversary of RCA would be 1969, not 1959.
The major companies that were absorbed into RCA in the early years, Westinghouse and General Electric (which included The American division of Marconi Wireless after it was nationalized during WWI), all predated 1909.
I literally can find nothing connected to RCA important enough to celebrate a fiftieth anniversary in 1959!
Could this have been a dealer promotion to sell some left over metal cabinet sets, by repainting them a jazzier color?
Since there obviously were other 1959 RCA model 210CB831 made, as Steve's original question still wonders, what color were they?
I still feel this is a non-professional repaint job. I'm not saying the seller did it, he or she could have been suckered on an older set they picked up.
