Philco
Old radio manufacturer
Philco was an American electronics company that dominated radio manufacturing in the early twentieth century and later produced televisions, refrigerators, and other appliances.
The name became synonymous with home radios during the 1930s and 1940s: My grandmother still has her old Philco in the living room.
The brand survives today only as a licensed trademark on various consumer products.
