Fletcher also sold Victrola's (note the V-V280 in the top right corner). They had location's in both the city of Victoria and the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. The Kent Piano Company was their competitor.

I'm a real fan of the Amberola V.

Hello,
One of my oak Amberola 75's has a neat Kents dealer tag!

Very nice dealer tag Pete. You may note Kent was only two blocks down the same street as Fletcher's in Victoria.... ;).
