I think it's an Admiral but I could easily be wrong.

My uncle's wife at the time was a tall bruntte who tried hard tolook like her. But nearly ALL the tall brunettes tried to look like Jackie back then. She WAS a pretty woman, though...

It looks like a '59 Admiral. I grew up watching that model set.

Either an Admrial, or, a Philco.

Didn't the "slender seventeener" Philco models all have the antenna mounted on the rotating handle?

Now that you mention it, yes. But, I thought there was one model that had antennas on main cabinet, instead of carry handle.
The thing about that ad that gets me is all the Admirals we got in had original factory gold paint on inside of mask. Everytime you'd touch it you'd get a static discharge. Just as bad as the GE's, that did the same thing, and, had the same gold paint.............
That would make quite a snap as the blue spark jumped from the plastic mask to your finger.
