| History: |
Clinton, Corona, Crusader, Cub, Bostonian, Buckingham, Federal, Harmony, Kent, Marshall, Nightengale, Universal, Westminster (with "Plant A" on license tag) are brand names used by Clinton Mfg. Co, 1217 W. Wash. Blvd, Chicago, Ill. Clinton made many, if not all, of the radios sold by Universal Battery Co. of Chicago. Clinton also made many of the radios sold by the Silver Mfg. Co. of Chicago and those radios often have the same model number as similar Clinton radios. The great majority of radios made by Clinton have an orange license label with the words "Plant A, Chicago". Some radios have been reported to have a black and yellow label with the words "Plant C, Chicago". Unconfirmed information is that the Clinton manufacturing operation was sold to Sonora Radio & Television Corp. of Chicago in 1938. One collector has found a Clinton license label inside a radio built by Sonora. The Sonora model 363-Clinton indicates that Sonora used Clinton as a trade name after Clinton Mfg. Co. was out of business. |
