I too was shocked years ago to learn that television, mechanical television, was available in the late '20's, and all-electronic in the late '30's! The late '30's/early '40's TV sets are not only rare museum pieces, but they were produced in beautiful art-deco radio-like cabinets. That Philco model you posted is a one-of-kind gem! The company made a slew of impressive pre-war tabletop and console TV's, but none seemed to have been sold to the public. They wouldn't have their first production set until 1948.
