NORCO - *Portland, OR?
model 4

NORCO was first associated with Northwestern Radio Manufacturing Co., one of Portland's finest & earliest radio manufacturing companies in the early days of radio. They tooled and machined most of their own parts including the knobs, panels, transformers and dials. Their last model was made in 1925, a 4 dial, slope panel battery set, NORCO model 77. the company went out of business around 1929.

*Unfortunately, the model 4 was not manufactured by NORCO or in Portland, OR. The model 4 was (as noted on the rear label) was made for NORCO in San Francisco, CA. Which I believe was actually made by Remler. My information is that Remler took over the NORCO name and made several models under that brand name in the early 1930's.
