Description: This vintage television indoor antenna, from the late 1950s early 1960s, is also known as Rabbit Ears! Marvin Middlemark (Born September 16, 1919 – Died September 1989) invented the Rabbit Ears television Antenna (Dipole antenna) in 1956 in Rego Park, Queens, New York. He revolutionized how television was watched in the United States, as his Rabbit Ears increased the television signal reception made available to the mass market, this move is considered by many as the single most important reason for the television boom of the late 1950’s – 1960’s. In used condition, the connector wire is frayed, the base of the antenna is off and a small disc is broken which I have shown in my pictures but the front dial with 6 numbers is readable. Made of cast metal and bakelite they measure 17 inches tall, 3 1/4 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches deep. A great addition to any Vintage Television ot Antenna Collection.
