Smile New postage stamps of interest to Vintage TV Collectors

U.S. Postal Service released for sale today a panel of new stamps celebrating early TV stars and shows.

I thought some of you Vintage TV folks might like them and want to pick some up at your local Post Office!

Well, I know what my next batch will be! I don't collect stamps, really, but when something neat enough comes out I'll buy it to save. Might have to do it with this one.

They have a sales poster in the local post office (probably in most of 'em) that features a mock-up a fifties console TV. (at least that is how it looks to me) I always see it and wonder why they didn't use something authentic?

Not until 1956.

And a lot later than that at OUR house.

See the USA, in a Chevrolet.....

Actually, her first color show was in early 1954--a short color kinescope of it still exists.

Question They were ALL Black and White at my house until 1965!

But that was just a special, not a regularly scheduled show like what would come in 1956, wasn't it?
