Any ID?

A friend sent this from a look at a house cleanout. I can't ID the red badge. Kinda stylish. A fun AA5. Any ideas?

Hi Dave, the clock/radio in question is an Olympic, here is a clearer pic I found of one. I know it's not easy to see, but it says Olympic under the clock, and the red badge is the Olympic torch

And pink to boot. That was fast. Perfect and thanks. End of thread.

Pretty distinctive styling. And pink to boot. An AA5 I would
like to have in my kitchen, but NOT near the bath tub ! My
squaw may find a use for it !

Ok, a bit more. Init4fun id's is an Olympic with the red badge owned by Seigler Corp. Another photo search finds it as Fleetwood on the lower badge with a paper tag under showing Fleetwood in Montreal and the red Olympic front badge now blanked. Did Siegler become Lear/Siegler? Pics need converting for later. All a minor mystery but it helps us figure out who was who.

I've got a 60s IIRC Sears or Coronado blue clock radio in a distinctive modernistic cabinet... While checking my Sam's folders for completeness I found that exact radio in at least 2 different Sam's folders under 2-3 different brands...

Badge engineering has been a thing for a LONG time...

Or you were running out of gas (Olympic) and just bought enough (Fleetwood) to stay alive. This set was so far from their late 40's line up. And a Fleetwood 21" tv set is available near me. Moderne.
