Crosley name goes back years
Not sure when WP got their mitts on the brand.

Then you have this:
"The present-day Crosley Corporation is not connected to Crosley. An independent appliance distributor formed the current company after purchasing the rights to the name from Avco in 1976. Its appliances are manufactured mostly in North America by Electrolux and Whirlpool Corporation. Crosley-branded, top-loading washing machines are made by the Whirlpool at its plant in Clyde, Ohio.[40] In 1984, Modern Marketing Concepts, one of the leading U.S. manufacturers of vintage-styled turntables, radios, and other audio electronics, reintroduced Crosley brand name for its Crosley Radio.[citation needed]

Funny that they went with the term "Conservator." It harkens back to Crosley's Shelvador refrigerator.
