I'm trying to identify my grandmother's old console TV. It was a non-remote set in a French Provincial cabinet. I recall a crosshatch pattern overlay on the speaker grille cloth, speakers on both sides, both of them full-height. I don't remember a whole lot about it as it was gone by the early 90s, but mom believes it was an Admiral and I found pics of an Admiral set with a very familiar-looking face and channel knobs.

The left one is a ~1967 Admiral remote set.

Nowhere near unfortunately, but thanks. Got the remote for that one?

Still trying on and off to identify the exact model, but getting closer...
The closest model I have been able to find an ad for is the 1967 model LK5559. The only difference is this one lacks the outer speakers. Ad at the link below, I can't find a way to post it here with the iPad.

How about this? It's an RCA, but it fits the description perfectly.

That's as close as I could get in a RCA. I'd take that RCA if local and cheap, but for nostalgia's sake I'm seeking the Admiral. It was the first color set in mom's household. Since it was in a higher-end cabinet I'll assume it used the more reliable shunt-regulated H12 chassis. It could be a Canada-only model for all I know.
