Pretty sure the one on the stand is a Raytheon, or at least Raytheon built, the one behind her chair is an Emerson.

These photos were in a collection of stereo Kodachrome slides I found at an estate sale last year. It looks like the set on the stand is the same one in four of the photos. The furniture moves around, but the curtains are the same.

Homes had such a warm "homey" look to them pre-1955 or so if you notice in the pics. After that they took on that sparse modern colder look.

they probably put the phone on the tv so they could turn the tv down when the phone rang , plus you had everyone's attention when the phone rang standing in front of the tv.i remember my mom hollering turn the tv down when it rang .

Wow, I have a Raytheon like the one pictured on the left (and the pic Eric posted). It's a 17" mid 1950s. Has a green metal cab. I have it in storage with plans to do some restoration pretty soon. It was still working around 10 years ago, but was beginning to need a little tlc with caps etc. I paid $15 for it in 1987.

A fellow collector had the actual magazine and sent me a better scan of the picture.

Other than the 630TS pretty much all of those sets are exceedingly rare today.
I've never even heard of a Remington or a Telicon TV.

Was the Remington any relation to Remington Rand? or the Firearms company?

The Rembrant is the only Remington TV that I have seen

The ETF museum has both a Rembrant tabletop and Telicon Projection set.

This Television was on a recent TV show "DC Legends" where they go back to 1958. Originally I though it was a 1949 Teletone TV-149. Is this TV just a prop or real TV?

That's a real set, an Olympic TV922 to be exact, though I'm sure it has a modern set inside for filming, for that reason I'd rather they built props instead of ruining real sets.

Lightened up the off screen image a bit. Eric H. good call on the Olympic.

You would not absolutely need to destroy the set to fit a modern set inside...On most sets it would be feasible to remove the CRT and tape a flat-screen behind the mask (reinstalling the chassis so the knobs have mounts), or just tape a green screen (although I think tech has moved past the need for green) over the front of the CRT and use effects in post production to achieve the image.

So often a retro-fitted prop set is one of the less-often seen models. Not that it's a very rare set, but that Olympic is not one you see every day and it is/was a real nice '40's model TV. Oh well!
