I don't know about the set on the bottom shelf, but the clock radio above it was made by Bendix. The name is visible on the front panel if you zoom in on the photo.

BTW, that particular model of clock radio was marketed under at least one other name besides Bendix. I think Hallicrafters had a set that looked like this one, and another well-known radio manufacturer of the '50s whose name escapes me at the moment also copied the design. I want to say Capehart, but if I did I'd probably be wrong.
