Not Lane (I inherited my mothers cedar lined Lane).

Could have been something cobbled together and private labled since we had furiture manufacturers close by in IL, MN and WI @ the time (1960's).

My parents once dragged me to Tel City Mart (think that was the name) in Chicago one weekend and they ended up buying awful Early American style stuff to replace MCM stuff.

And then, 3-4 years later, came the shag carpet.

Vacuuming pot seeds out of shag carpet makes a very entertaining (memorable;-) sound. 

Was never into Danish Modern but was fond of the pickled wood square edged MCM style.

For aesthetics Grundig was the the Gold standard, from what I’ve seen in the USA.

Telefunken and a few other Eastern European manufactures also had some nice models (including large/huge table top radios).

I’ve seen a few more than decent examples by Zenith and Magnavox (copying MCM design), but doubt that many were produced/sold.

Also recall an Amercian line with Danish Modern cabinetry, but blank out on the name (probably scarce/rare due to the added cost of the cabs).

Once considered buying/gutting one (Telefunken) for a side table, but it was too deep for the small dining area.

Ended up buying a pair of black iron MCM (4) shelf brackets @ the same thrift and put together a slim (8" deep X 5’ wide) unit to hold the bulk of our cook/food books.
