Old photos of TV's

[Captain Video]

Two pictures of a woman with her TV set, I believe the photo with the set turned on was taken in the early 60's and the other in the late 50's. I suspect the TV is a Philco:

One from the 60's shows a Philips set. The other is obviously from the 50's, with a TV that I couldn't identify:

resembles a Capehart we used to have. It was the first TV I remember seeing.

My mother and father (on floor), each with their first sets. Nice Emerson radio on top on my Dad's set.

Ha! My Mom's family is Italian, and was living in Northern NJ (right outside NYC) back in the good, old days. Her father, and his brothers were - how do I put this? . . . AH!!! Worked in the "Waste Management" business.

Well, he really worked for Ballentine and Pabst breweries in Newark, NJ - long gone now. He did Union "stuff." We never KNEW for sure, but in the 50's\60's when you had nice stuff like that and did not even have a high school education - I mean . . . come on! "It fell off the back of a truck!"
