Old photos of TV's

[Captain Video]

I just bought this one at an Internet auction tonight. Picture is too small for me to be able to identify the TV, so I can't say if it is a Brazilian or American set:

New one that I bought yesterday. I am pretty sure that the TV shown is a 1956 Philips.

Captain Video, I always liked the table with the legs comming out behind the Young Man. You would always stub a toe on them... Great Picture

New one that I bought... I am really hooked on this thing of buying old pictures with 50's TV sets on them!!!

TV is an RCA Victor. And the bride is ( better saying was ) gorgeous!!!

This shot is taken from a vintage 3D stereo slide of a (slightly) older pair of newlyweds. The caption reads: The Bride and Groom on Wed. Day--Cora and Bert. The RCA tv looks like an early color set...well, as much color as that blue/clear/green cellophane will allow.

What's the deal with that antenna? It looks like it will pick up signals from outer space! And how about that Chinese-themed tv lamp? The stuff on the tv is almost more interesting than the set itself.

VERY cool antenna. Looks like some artfact from a 50's sci-fi movie.

My mother remenbers those plastic sheets to "simulate" color on a B/W set. She actually had one in her house, in the 60's.

I also like the glasses the man is wearing on. I want to find a pair of glasses like that for me someday.

The TV is almost like the one on the marriage picture I posted.

Here is a postcard issued by Motel Trans-Canada in Villeroy (Quebec),
a place that still exists to this day:

The TV shown is what I believe a 1955 21-inch Viking (made
by Electrohome for Eaton's), that must have been regarded as fairly
reliable as it was at least 8 years old when this card was issued.
The Trans-Canada Highway that gives its name to the motel was
opened in 1963 IIRC. Regards.

Looks like it could be a set of rabbit ears that can get UHF as well as VHF. I think I saw one like that in the movie, "White Christmas," on the old General's TV.
