Anyone heard of an "NRC" radio?

Yours is the exact same radio that was photographed on Worthpoint, with minor paint touchups done since the previous photos were taken.

Haha! That IS my set! I got it from the well-known long-time collector Bruce of "Waves" radio/TV antiques shop in NYC. It somehow trickled into his hands and into mine! The description is exact and I did the paint touch-ups. I'm glad someone got the knob for it.
It's amazing with the Net how these mysteries can be solved!
Thanks so much for all that info. Brian! Yes, it is the Nippon Radio Corporation and the handle does say "Tokyo Patent" with the dogs head logo. It looks so American though! Who was buying a Japanese import radio in America at this time? and where? One thing I can say, it's beautifully made. That chrome handle is military tough!
