It might be a Pilot TV-37..... Oh; or a Casio LCD pocket set.

Nope. Its a mid 50s red portable that's in sad shape. Ge if I recall. I looked at it in november of last year. I tried to explain to her the origin of the set and its age - but she was very stubborn on being educated as well as her pricing methods.

Usually I find that something described as being "one of the first TVs" turns out to be something more like this:
 But the really funny thing is if you look this photo up on flickr, you'll find that people there were moved to leave comments about this "awesome" "old" "retro" "bygone era" artifact! I can hardly wait til those old first generation plasma sets are considered retro. --Dave Photo credit: flickr user Beige Alert

I had one of those. I found it in the trash, used it for a year or so until it quit turning on, and I put it back on the curb. Not a bad TV from what I remember but nothing particularly retro. Heck I thought it was pretty new, having touch buttons and an on-screen display. Interesting that something like that is considered retro and cool, yet something like my '56 Admiral portable is junk, and my '53 Philco is a fishtank in the making.
