In USA standards, that would be considered a 13" TV. If you actually measure the picture, you will probably find that the actual viewable picture measures in the 13" range.

Up until around 1970, TV's were sold in the USA that were advertised as a 25"; but, the actual viewable picture was only 23". Or, sets sold as 19"; but, actually had an 18" viewable picture. Then, the Government stepped in and said "no, no, no, you can't do that" and required manufacturers to advertise the ACTUAL size of the viewable picture in their advertising.

I don't think Canada had the same rule in place at the time; so, that's why your set claims to be a 14" model. The actual tube size is 14"; but, you only have a 13" viewable picture.

I've actually had my hands on TV's that read on the dataplate, "25 inches (in Canada, 27").
