Post Emmett Till's family's TV set

In Friday's USA Today, and at http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...ett-till_x.htm you can see him standing next to a console TV set. Looks like a nice set. Anyone recognize what model it was?

Awful hard to tell. Looks like it could be a c. 1952 Philco, the kind with a duplex chassis.

I was thinking Philco too, the knob layout looks a lot like my 53.

Here's the pic blown up and lightened a bit.

What a shame. He looked so happy and proud then.
