Interesting photos. About that photo with the early television, I checked the inflation calculator and $100 is about $1,3500 in today's dollars. So I don't know if one could really call it affordable, especially if there weren't any regular network broadcasts yet.

I remember getting our first television when I was in the 4th grade (9 years old, so 1952). It had taken several years for my parents to save enough to be able to purchase it. I came home from school to be greeted by the Howdy Doody Show. One of the best days of my life!

Anyone want to start a trivia thread related to Howdy and his gang? Warning: You will be showing your age... Or, we could discuss Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger shows.
