For Those Who Are Old Enough To Remember----And Who Lived Back East

Here's a kinescope of an NBC Network special marking the 10th anniversary of the formal launching of television by the network as a public service at the 1939 New York World's Fair.  This telecast, hosted by Ben Grauer, contains kinescoped highlights from three 1948 events, including that year's presidential election returns.  Joining Ben on this April 30, 1949 telecast over WNBT (now WNBC) are Earl Wrightson, Kyle MacDonnell, and the Three Flames.

Here is a very rare nugget indeed!
