that...exactly like that (more or less, ok?)....that was the look of the living room...all gone and bulldozed now to build huge towers....by the savages who live in that South american country.

The top picture of the workshop with the figure in the back is outstanding. I really like it! Is there a description?

I have a blacksmithing work area in my shop. Have all the goods. Don't use it as often as I should, but I use it. Mainly for repairs and just having a good time.

Back to the idea that civilized folk did not have a visible picture tube in any of the public rooms of the house, here is a Jam Handy industrial film promoting the 1959 RCA Victor "Hillsborough" model 21 inch television receiver. The Danish Modern interior was up-to-the-minute. I'd buy a ranch house and a bunch of Danish Modern furniture if I ever found one of these sets, I think.

With the fireplace, it looks a little like the set of Perry's apartment in Perry Mason!

Well, perhaps not with the dark wood work. This was more along the lines of what I imagined:

Puts me in mind of the set of the Brewster house, in Arsenic and Old Lace. It even has a window seat for Mr. Spenalzo!

I do believe this is the first I've ever seen of this model, and I pay attention to furniture and the like of that era. Might've been a sales flop, maybe?
