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.

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?
