Vintage Rembrandt TV Antenna

I won this antenna on ebay. It is an uncommon design that I like.

 

GE Ro-To TV Antenna

This is a pretty strange antenna. With its large metal wings, it must have provided good reception. It's the first one like it that I've seen.

 

Vintage TV Antenna

This interesting antenna is probably from the mid-1950s. It has no manufacturer's marking that I can find. It has a heavy cast iron base and an adjustment knob positioned in the center of two geodesic-shaped balls on either side. Both the rabbit ears and the center antenna section are adjustable.

 

Spico TV Antenna

This antenna is probably from the mid- to late-1950s. It has a vertical slide control in the plastic center section that you use for finer adjustments to the reception quality.

Surprisingly, these Spico antennas are inexpensive on ebay, but still look great on top of a vintage TV.

 

TV Antenna

I won this antenna on ebay. I had been looking for this particular antenna for over a year.

It is an Amiercan 5-K Indoor TV tenna (probably from the mid-1950s).

 

Channel Master Rabbit Ears

The two circular wires give these rabbit ears a particularly nice design. The base is cast iron and Bakelite.

 

Channel King Retractable Antenna

These clever antennas extend (up to 42 inches) and retract by turning the round knob on the front of the plastic cabinet. These came in several different colors of plastic and still work very well today.

 

Delta Beam Antenna

This unusual antenna has rabbit ears that are hinged in the middle (allowing them to fold down or up). Two coiled wires in the middle section of the antenna apparently improve reception.

I have three of these antennas, including the less common model with a lighted base.

 

Unusual TV Antenna

This odd-looking antenna made by the Hi-Lo Antenna Corp. is about 32" wide. I thought it would look fun on top of a vintage TV.

 

GE "Ro-To" TV Antenna

Circular antennas were made by various manufacturers in the late-1940s, but this variety with the open framework is less common.
