Hi people,
I am trying to get info on the company that made a Brass Reproducer that came with one of my photographs. It is marked Sono-Tone, pat date 1913, I have been unsuccessful in finding any company information on it but thought maybe someone on here would have a clue as to where I could look, Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Sono-tone
If it's Sona-Tone, here is an ad from Talking Machine World magazine April 1918. Again, one of hundreds of "off brand" companies that jumped on the bandwagon when patents began to expire.
