The 1208s were a low end product and were delivered completely assembled. There was no room for extra cost at any point in the value chain. New twelve inch TVs were intended as second sets and apartment TVs by 1951.
They have a built in tunable antenna, compact size and light weight. The customer could take the TV with them. While quite fragile out of the cabinet, the CRTs were relatively sturdy when properly mounted in the cabinet.
If shipping, I suggest packing face down in several inches of bubble wrap top and bottom. Mark the carton "glass" and "end up", and "do not stack". Either double box or a protective box on the top end of the box over the CRT neck.
