I love this style, I have a couple TV with no chassis I may someday take up wood working and make something like this.

Ok. I don't even have to know much about sets from this era to know that this is DEFINITELY not a TV from the late-1940's or early-1950's. I'd say it's more like very late-1950's to early-1960's.

The seller really downplays the fact that wires in the back are cut. That can be a pretty big issue especially if they can't be resoldered correctly (not exactly what I call MINT condition).

I think this might be the TV featured in the current Verizon FIOS commercial--"You wouldn't want an antique TV..."
Oh, wouldn't I just!

I kept a pic of it, I love the legs, I would like to try some wood working, and have some chassis that need a cabinet.

I have a remote color Sylvania that looks like that one, wish I could keep it.
