Although my age isn't too far out of the range (I'm 34) I cannot recall seeing even one roundie growing up. There were some early rectangular color sets but that was it. The first pictures I ever saw of one were 1)an ad in Time magazine for Motorola, in the late 70s or early 80s, showing a large picture of a 50s Motorola color set and 2)an article on pollution in National Geographic which showed a beauty of a roundie upside down in a landfill. The article mentioned the dangers of PCBs in the picture tubes. I did not lay my eyes on an actual set until I found 2 of them at the town dump one day about 1990-a mid-60s Admiral (now long gone) and a CTC-15 that I still have.
