Never heard of Mercury televisions before, and I thought I knew a lot about old American television sets... always learning something new on this site!

It is interesting that there was Philco-Ford, and Mercury (TV and cars), but no Lincoln TVs...

I don't think I've ever seen a TV that actually said Philco-Ford on it. I once had a Philco-Ford refrigerator though.
Mercury televisions were I believe made a company called Pacific Mercury not at all related to Mercury cars. The one I had used the same chassis as a Silvertone. But then I do have that Delco TV (with the Hallicrafters chassis), and Delco as far as I know otherwise just made car radios for GM.

The High Noon set is maybe a Packard Bell?

72 years ago
72 years ago today - This television set, retailing for $100, is reportedly the first moderately priced receiver manufactured in quantity. Rose Clare Leonard watches the screen, which reproduces a 5x7 image, as she tunes in at the first public post-war showing at a New York department store, on August 24, 1945. ( Text from a Facebook post ).
