Indian Head,
The RCA color emblem, the gold v with the green, red & blue inserts were first introduced on the CTC-5 models as a way of identifying these as color sets in the dealer showroom. However, I think you are referring to the word "COLOR TV" displayed on the lower mask. Some CTC-5's had the words COLOR TV as a decal displayed on the bottom center of the safety glass. The CTC-5 "Lockhaven" model, perhaps as a preview of the next generation Mark series sets, had a more prominent larger COLOR TV embedded on the mask itself. Check out my site for a picture of the Lockhaven model in the CTC-5 catalog.
