This set is made by Arvin. I am surprised there were so many styles and colors of these metal radios. They are perfect for kitchen, desk or bedside table. One ad by Arvin for these sets said most families need at least three. I have another Silvertone Model 1 awaiting restoration and a good cabinet for a model 444 when I can find a chassis for it.
