Along these same lines, I was just recently told about a reel of film that was found on Ebay, which contained two 1954 COLOR kinescope clips from NBC (though they were badly faded)-- a few minutes of an episode of the Dinah Shore Show, complete with a chopped-up but heretofore unknown NBC color ident, voiced by Hugh Downs; and the opening minutes of an episode of Eddie Fisher's "Coke Time", from March of 1954.

Impossible things **are** happening every day!!

If you get a chance to see television on modern marvels on the history channel they show a short film clip of very early CBS color on that program.
