    From the beginning of the space age and television, a pair of rabbit ears from the 1950s. Probably form the early 1950s.
    It has a three sections of antennas. I believe the center section is for UHF. Living in the Los Angeles area we did have the joy of UHF channels. They were a bit odd.
    The antenna rotate just about every way possible. Up down they extend and so on.
    The buttons on the front are probably to select source. There is no writing or text on this.
    I put it on top of m y somewhat out of date but still working TV. Does give it some class.

      How space-agey! Reminds me of My Favorite Martian, too!
