It looks so vintage with this picture, Great photography and angle in the picture looks perfect. I wonder what camera was it used taking this picture and I wish I also got skill in photography.

These televisions are an antique for many people, although some still preserve them, others take them to the junkyard.

With every light going out, then it sure a time to rest for the day.. This could only be the interpretation I believe.

Wow. This photo brings back memories of the olden days. Going back to those years, you’ll be considered rich if you own one of this. Nice photo.

Very nostalgic. I remembered my grand father still has this type of television and keeping it. Has so many memories when my mom, uncle and aunts were still kids.

Nice retro T.V.! I like the little Jesus ornament too. I think it’s fitting with the candles burning out theme.

Anytime I see television of this type, priceless memories flows through my spines. I remember how I felt when my dad got our first tv set, just like this….was like all the neighbours became my friend

I wonder if the TV still works. It must be at least a few decades old.

It’s one of those dated Black and white TVs. What a blast from the past!

The TV is a part of history. I’d preserve it if it were mine.

I wish I had one of these retro TVs. It is very difficult to come by them nowadays.

The screen has seen its fair share of good days. I hope it served well.

I wish this shot was taken in black and white. It would have been perfect!

I fondly remember these vintage TV sets. They used to operate without a remote.
