59 guineas was a lot for a TV at the time, hence the overwhelming popularity of the Bush TV22 at 'only' £36-2s-6d, still a considerable sum of money.
Mods note : for our younger readers, 59 guineas was 59 pounds and 59 shillings, in other words, £61.19s.0d On 14th Oct 2013 5:19pm, Midland Red said:

It had a reversible rear wheel, free wheel on one side and a fixed cog on the other. It was made from Reynolds tubing and at the time it was sold for the princely sum of £14 pounds and 5 shillings. |
