My friend in West LA, who owns a shop that opened in 1936, has a few customers who still have color roundies in daily use today, and at least one Zenith console B&W late 50s set. Not TV collectors; original retired households. The oldest original owner/still-in-use set I have worked on, was a '49 Hoffman similar to yours, in about 1985. (wait a minute: Jeez... 1985 seems like last week, but it was more than 1/4 century ago
