Motorolla
During the mid 50's, at least in the states RCA made most of the early color TV chassis and actually other companies put their name on these early RCA sets. But, one electronics company produced their own line of color TV's. Both in 19 and 21" round screens. Motorolla went out on a limb and produced their own line of color TVs in the mid 50's. However I guess color TV was too new and pricey for the masses and Motorolla stopped making that line of Color TV's. It wasn't till the early 60's that they got back in the color TV derby. The number one and two giants were RCA Victor followed by Zenith who's first color TV went on sale in 1962. I'm guessing Motorolla for the TV pictured due to the thick border around the picture glass over the tube.
I couldn't think of the word but its the thick bezel around the picture tube.
