Help ID a TV from around 1957

I'm thinking it might be an Arvin model 8179-TM.

It has the same mask but the knobs are slightly different.

Very likely close, but knob/crt width ratio says 21" to me... note that the Arvin next to it (8171) in the brochure seems to have knobs that better match your set.

Wow, you are right about the knobs. I see what you mean on it being a 21 incher.

Bump.

I found it! It's in Louisville Ky. I'm dealing with the buyer as to payment and when I can pick it up. Almost 3 years now looking. Guys never give up!

Very cool that you found one! Are the knobs included?

IDK. All I know is what the picture shows. I'll try and find out some more details.
