Coronado, Belmont, Western Royal
Like the Silver-Marshall name, the Freshman-Masterpiece name was sold and revived.
Radios labeled with the Freshman Masterpiece name in the 30s and 40s
had no affiliation to the well-known 1920s line of Freshman Masterpiece radios.
Many Belmont models are occasionally found with the Freshman Masterpiece name on them.
The 1920s advertisement below shows the original Freshman Masterpiece radios. The company closed its doors in 1928,
and the name was picked up by a distributor with no relation to the original company.
