Mine is a very deep Maroon. I wonder if the price difference between the two is casue of the color.

The brightest and most unusual colors always get top dollar, along with unique designs typical of the period. I'll guesstimate it'll do $60-$70, but you never know what you'll get on eBay as we all know!

I bought a channel changer knob for my RCA CT-100 color TV on eBay, and was locked with another collector in a bidding war. And I won! Bet the guy never thought he'd see $102.50 for a channel knob!

The exact model number's not in my book, however similar model numbers as the progression go date the set to 1954.

In my book, that lists a model number, but no date. I'll still bet I'm on the money.
