Congratulations on finding a VERY rare set! You have found your once-in-a-lifetime find. And to find ANY one-owner fifties color set is an event by itsself... Do the math: A color TV in 1955 cost about half what a new Chevy cost. So that was a purchase only for the financially secure family. A doctor, or an established businessman. So assume that the buyer was about 40, that makes him/her well into their 90s today.
