 I don't know the age of this microwave, but it seems to be fairly current. So what's up with the Westinghouse name and the vintage logo?

Westinghouse name/logo
After the Westinghouse Corp. as we know it, disappeared in the 1990's, it's recognizable name and logo went up for grabs. CBS, Toshiba, ViaCom have all been owners of the trademark. Then an independent entity called Westinghouse Licensing Corp. was developed to market the name.
Central air conditioning, televisions, hot water heaters, small appliances have all been sold with the Westinghouse name, but zero relation to the original company. The bottom line is, any company can purchase the right to use the Westinghouse name and logo if they pay the licensing fee. Appliance brand names have been bandied about to the point where they no longer have any meaning or association with the company who made them. Sad, isn't it. | ||

John, I'm completely aware of information on data tags, but his is a product for sale on Craigslist and includes one photo - the photo that I included. Had I really wanted to buy the microwave I could have contacted the seller and requested the missing information. However, I have a microwave and was only struck by the appearance of the vintage logo. And I figured folks here could explain its existence, which Barry did.
