Mark V in Leave It To Beaver

There is a previous thread here that has a post in it about there being a ShopSmith being used in an LITB episode. My wife has checked out Season 1 from our local library and in an episode that originally aired on November 15, 1957, titled "Water Anyone?", there it is, in one corner of the garage: A brand new looking ShopSmith model 500. They did knot use it, so maybe it will appear in additional episodes too!

Ward Cleaver also had a nice looking RAS on the other wall of the garage. I could knot make out the name on it.

On page 4 of Shop Notes 3, the author seems to think this couple is from Ma and Pa Kettle rather than Leave it to Beaver. I must be reading this wrong. Is this photo of the Kettles or the Cleavers?

I just watched the episode on You Tube - great stuff! The RAS is a Dewalt. Looks like Ward Cleaver had only the best!

That's definitely not Ward and June Cleaver.

Wow. Any idea what year this was made? My all-time favorite Abbott and Costello episode has something similar, but I seem to remember it being a different math problem: 7 x 13 = 28.

I wonder who was first, and who copied who?

No, but THIS is... around 5:45 on the clip.

Looks like the headstock is in for repair?

OK, if you say so. Which one is June?

Where did this image come from? Which clip? Did I link to the wrong place before?

My eyes are failing again. I can't see in the dark!

Absolutely Dusty! The picture in post 1 of that thread is of the Kettles! You need to scroll through the thread to posts 11 and 12 to see the reference to the Cleavers.
