Trademark Fridor Fridor-Waldorp was a manufacturer based in The Hague that only briefly survived in the radio field.
Fridor was originally involved in the manufacture of vacuum cleaners and sewing machines and started producing radios in the 2nd World War by taking over the nearby "Waldorp" radio factory. Waldorp had been producing radios since 1924, and during the war years gave every radio a "W" of "Wilhelmina" (and of "Waldorp") as a sign of resistance. After the war, this symbol was used by Fridor in the form of a golden crown prominently featured on the radio.
