Vintage 1958 Philco Predicta Swivel Screen Television Print Advertisement
Approximately 10.5 x 12.5 inches.
This vintage 1958 Philco Predicta original print ad showcases the revolutionary 'world's first swivel screen television,' one of the most iconic industrial designs of the 1950s. The magazine advertisement features the dramatic floating-screen Predicta in a glamorous showroom setting, with its distinctive semi-flat picture tube hovering above a low-profile wood cabinet — priced at $269.95 in blond or $259.95 in mahogany. The Predicta has become a defining collectible symbol of postwar American futurism and Space Age optimism, making this collectible ad a prized find for mid-century modern design enthusiasts and electronics history collectors alike.
