40's Home Interior

A counterpart in the 60's Home Interior. Judging by the TV set it may be fifteen to 20 years older than the other one.

One can really go on an explorer trip here: On the TV there is the face of a guy (barely) visible. May we identify him and find the exact day and time of this shot?

A calender display shows that the day this was taken was on a 10th.

An ultra high res scan even reveals that the TV set is a Zenith! I hope somebody here can identify the exact model and year.
