Valentine's gift (or is it a shameless trick?)

[Phil Nelson]

Yesterday I picked up a Philco F4626M Miss America. My wife is out of town for a couple of days and we'll miss Valentine's Day together. To smooth the path for this new acquisition, I told her that this TV is a gift. Since it's hers, not mine, she's welcome to sell it if she thinks we don't have room, although it would look great alongside her Mid-Century Modern things. All I want is a chance to restore it and take photos for an article before she gets rid of it. I also found a Philco ad with the 1958 Miss America next to the TV in her gown and tiara.
