Probably a more modern DuMont, as Rocky King (1950-1954) and Front Page Detective (1951-1953) were both 1950's DuMont network programs. I can't see why they'd showcase an older set. More likely they displayed the newest set available to increase sales. Can't be 1940's as the seller labeled it.

That's my mom on the couch. I think this was Christmas 1958, probably mom and dads first or second year in their new house. Apparently the film didn't get developed until the next summer. Anyone recognize the TV model?

Yeah, I figured it might of been a K1820 Norfolk. My folks must have picked it up used. I have no recollectoin of ever watching it, but I didn't come on the scene until 5 years later.
