That Packard bell was the wrong era, they had a 58 RCA 14" in earlier episodes.

Eric, You read my mind before I read your post. I noticed the prop change to a 70s 12" BW, back then even!

Now a real stretch is what TV did the Cunningham's have on Happy Days?
It looked like a 17" Motorola to me...then.

Not sure if I can come up with screen caps; if anybody else can to confirm or rebut that's great.

In early episodes, ISTR the Cunningham TV was a circa 1954 Admiral, 21" I think. Later episodes featured an early split-chassis Philco, a 16" round set with dome top. Both were table sets.

In the pilot (the Love, American Style segment) the Cunninghams were the first family on the block to get a TV set, specifically a Philco 48-1001. In 1956?! It had to have been set in at least 1953 as the visuals at the beginning established the action taking place in the Eisenhower era. The model fits plot device, but both are out of step with the chosen era by a good number of years.
