The brass plate seems to say "Majestic International", it is also in a different script then Grigsby Grunow or Majestic Radio and Television would have used. This isn't to say that the latter company could not have built it but it just wasn't their style to use a generic dial like that. You sometimes run into similar sets with names like "Freshman" or "Silver" or even "Grebe" on them but it was really just a form of badge engineering, sort of like the Chinese ghetto blaster with the name "Philco" or "Electrohome" on it.
Regards
