During their first meeting, Lionel shows Bertie a home phonograph recorder that he calls a "Silvertone". Silvertone was a brand name of the Sears-Roebuck department store and mail-order catalogue company of Chicago, Illinois. Sears introduced the brand name for their wind-up phonographs in 1915, expanding it to include their radio, vacuum tube, and radio battery lines in the mid 1920s. Sears renamed its musical instrument lines "Silvertone" in the 1930s, followed by their guitar amplifier lines in the late 1940s. The Silvertone brand name was retired in 1972.
