One of the most famous American radio brands, Philco started in 1892 as a battery manufacturer, then switched to radios in 1928 as alternating current made batteries unnecessary. Philco became known for its table radios with floral designs, and began producing floor radios as well. Philco also helped to revolutionize car radios, making them more affordable and efficient. During the 30s and 40s the company also made clocks, refrigerators, and televisions.
