In example:  the iconic Walt Disney’s “Peter Pan” and other trendy models like the “Swan and “Tulip”.  When you think of Californian radio industry you think of Jackson Bell.

It is well known that Jackson Bell the most successful brand name had other competing names built by Gilfillan Brother Radio such as: Mellotone;Trumpet - Tone; Los Angeles; however, all these brands were marketed by the manufacturer Gilfillan Brother Radio Works. This company had a full product line producing cathedrals; tombstones; tabletop, and clock radios for Jackson Bell. This business relationship lasted until 1933 when Jackson Bell went into receivership.
