     It seemed to me that Hallicrafters bought Echophone in 
the mid- 1930s.  I found the history at
http://www.ea3edk.com/HistoryHalli.html

     Hallicrafters took over Echophone in 1934. It gave them 
a valid RCA license and a good manufacturing plant. 
Hallcrafters had first made a deal to aquifer 
Silver-Marshal, who had financial problems to obtain their 
RCA license but this arrangement came to an end because of 
financial difficulties and S-M was succeeded by the merger 
with Echophone. Evidently, the use of the Echophone name was 
discontinued sometime in the late 1940s.
