I think you are right. I found a pic of a radio with the same tag - attributed to something called “dorset rex of 5th avenue” in NYC - lots of handbags etc with the same label.
I have no idea other than to assume it’s some long gone local department store chain. Evidently from 1925 to 1950 they existed selling things like compacts. I assume this was some 1930s item -
Given it was NYC I think probably a Chicago production.
I only paid $75 for this so I think that’s reasonable- too much probably but better than the $150 the seller was asking.
