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.
