The coolest pair of rabbit ears I've ever seen!
 

Grabbed this today at a flea market for $2. I'm going to use it as an FM antenna, but I thought that you TV guys would appreciate it. It's hard to tell from the pic, but the spheres on the antenna tips are the same marbled red/brown Bakelite as the base. I need to clean and polish the arms, they're a bit dirty and rusty.

Really funny how these things work. We went through an antique mall today and there was a set of rabbit ears still in the box, $5. They look identical to these! I bought 'em 'cause, heck, they are neat looking. Although the box calls them a "colortenna" or some such, they look straight outta the Ralph Kramden era.

I'm not into old TV in any way, however, I can't pass on a neat set of antenni. I have a set somewhere with Saturn and it's rings on the tips.

Those old "rabbit-ear" antennas work very nicely with FM tuners!!!

yep, very badass rabbit ears..having been born in 1953, and, hence, seen many pairs of them, those are definitely sweet. I was recently given a Luxman R1050 receiver, and was wondering what to do about antennae. Now I know!! Thanks!!

Yeah, I remember those. That brown marbelized plastic was pretty common once upon a time. I had a pair like that, only with brushed brass antennas and as previously noted, they're perfect for FM.

Dang, those things are cool! I'd buy those in a minute, if they showed up around here for a remotely reasonable price. I'm not sure if they were ever sold in these parts, though; I see other old rabbit ears sometimes, but nothing that neat-looking! Congratulations! :thmbsp:

I got a set exactly like those. I have them on my digital converter, work great.

Oh no, if the Audio people find out about Rabbit Ears the price will go through the roof! :D

very cool! I use rabbit ears on one of my tuners, but it's hiding behind my record shelves because it doesn't look as cool as that one.

I thought you might dig them. :thmbsp: Once I get things running again, these might end up doing antenna duty on one of my tube receivers.

Cool looking antennas
 

The classic ball style are nice, but don't limit yourself!

A whole collection of Bunny-ears are out there, including some unbelievable varieties, that worked as well (as poorly?), but will really stand out in a crowd.

I've attached a picture of 3 flocked(!) antennas, I bought a year or two ago..and they just make you want to say, 'What the Hey?? I've got to get me one of them there!'

These have twin-lead running out of their ... well you get the idea.

Awesome! I was wondering if anyone else had these guys. I have the Springer Spaniel with box showing the other models.

It looks as if your box came with a Siamese Cat originally.

Those animal antennas are odd. When were they made?

Funny, I never noticed that. I can't find a date anywhere, but they do mention B&W and color sets so mid 50s at least.
