white plastic, front with long horizontal tuning.... 4 black knobs lower left.. I think...

Holey crap I found it!.... http://radioattic.com/item.htm?radio=1230546

I guess it was sold under a few names. And it looks like it just had a pilot light not a tuning eye....
Somehow I don't think its from 1955.......


Got one of these too, http://radioattic.com/item.htm?radio=0380424 Not a R O C K E R by
any means but its my favorite style of that era table radios.... I really like the design....

I have the newer issues of that model badged "National Panasonic".
Your radio is from 1961/62. IIRC, Matsushita electric started using the name "Panasonic" for the American market.
At the time, they were using, the name "National", but in the U.S., "National" was a registered trademark of the National Company, that made Ham equipment. They were probably using the "National" name in Canada.
