GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Bring Philco’s inventive history along for everyday plans. Founded in Philadelphia in 1892, the company progressed from carbon-arc lamps and batteries to radios, televisions, appliances, computers, and aerospace systems. Its rise as the leading U.S. radio maker by 1930 and the distinctive designs of the Baby Grand and Predicta eras give the name lasting interest for collectors. This quarter zip pullover pairs a practical wardrobe choice with a conversation-starting connection to a company that helped define successive generations of electronics.
Philco began in Philadelphia in 1892 as Helios Electric Company, making carbon-arc lamps. In 1906, as Philadelphia Storage Battery Company, it entered battery production, first for electric vehicles and later for home charging. The Philco name appeared in 1919. After launching its successful Socket Power Battery Eliminator in 1925, the company entered radio manufacturing in 1928 and became the leading U.S. radio maker by 1930. Its products later ranged from home appliances and televisions to computers and aerospace systems. Notable designs included the Baby Grand radios of the 1930s and Predicta televisions introduced in 1957. Philco developed transistor technology and built early transistorized computers, while its technical work also extended to satellite communications and NASA tracking and mission-control systems. Ford purchased the company in 1961; its products adopted the Philco-Ford name in 1966. Ford sold non-automotive business operations to GTE in 1974, and GTE sold the Philco International brand to White Consolidated Industries in 1977. Philips acquired the company and Sylvania brand from GTE in 1981, and became the owner of Norelco in 1987. Today, Philips owns the Philco brand in North America, while Electrolux owns Philco International in other markets.
