At the urging of a few visitors, I've included a new top level category for Supro Amplifiers, made by Valco and distributed widely by Sears and Roebuck under the Silvertone private label. Although the first Supro amplifiers appears well before WWII, they were made in fairly large numbers after the war's close.
Of course, the Supro's primary claim to fame is Jimmy Page's use of the amp on the solo of "Stairway To Heaven" on Led Zeppelin's critically-acclaimed fourth album. Long known for his favored pairing of Les Paul Standard with Marshall amplification, much of Zep's first two albums are recorded on a Telecaster plugged into various Supro amps.
