I couldn't resist but to make a little light humor joke with those photos. I'm glad someone got a laugh out of it!

Veg, as for the WG or Warwick deal, I may have got my facts screwed up. I always think of WG whenever I see a sears or airline set and I seem to always forget about the warwick name. I was looking up on the internet and it appears that Airline was indeed a WG make. However, I could not find anything about warwick to prove if they were exclusive to sears. Where was warwick based? Warwick, RI? I have no idea. Either Im not looking deep enough, or warwick has been gone so long that nobody cares to write about it or remember it. Even though this link doesn't indicate who made silvertone, it does however give some details as to the history of the silvertone name, so this color set I have would indeed be the end of the line for Silvertone:

When I get home, I'll check the model number on the set as the 3 digit number will indicate who made the set. For reference, here's the sears "master list" of manufactuer model codes. Im pretty sure its going to be a 528 as I recall seeing that number on just about all sears sets.

Here is an interesting read. A lawsuit filed against sears, which was my only source about warwick. Still tells me nothing about where they are from.
