Panasonic's logo used to be the word "Panasonic" inside the letter 'N', and some sets say National-Panasonic, others just Panasonic, others just National. Not sure why, maybe it changed through the years. In the later 80s I bought, at a freight salvage, a new National-Panasonic radio/cassette player. I can only assume it was for some market besides the US-maybe a gray market import? Anyhow, they had some pretty nice AM-FM table sets in the 60s, both tube & transistor. Maybe the best Japanese sets of that era I've seen. They don't have that cheap look of so many you see. Still make a good product, in my book. The cordless phone clipped to my pocket is amazing, especially given the abuse its taken.
