Anyone heard of an "NRC" radio?

[decojoe67]

I found this solidly built battery-only portable radio recently. There are no ID labels on it. It appears post-war. It has an odd "Waltz" P-4 speaker in it. Between and above the control knobs reads "NRC" "Radio and Television". It's odd that at the top center it reads "RADIO PORTABL" - there was no room for one letter and the "E" was left out!
Any info on this set and manufacturer would be appreciated.
