An early merry Christmas from HMV and Columbia

Post by recordo »

I found these yesterday when I was going through some supplement sheets. Hope you enjoy and an early merry Christmas wish from me!

(The images are the correct way up on my computer but for some reason they are being uploaded on their sides here...I don't get it).

Regards, Glenn.

The first one makes me feel like sending a Columbia 'New Process' record out to some random person. Anonymously. :P

This post reminded me my christmas ad was still rolled and stored.I had it mounted on canvas and restored but never framed.I guess it would make a good New Year's resolution.

Love these period Christmas ads.

A very Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah to everyone. May Santa fill your stocking with lots of phonograph goodies and may you have a healthy and happy New Year.

Me too. I love phonograph paper materials so this thread is a pre holiday delight.

Thankee! I'm currently awaiting some goodies from Nauck's and Hawthorne's this month: that should suffice for stocking stuffers.... :D

Hi What superb posters. Just managed to print a copy of each off for Christmas. I live in the UK and have been interested in Phonographs for over 40 years and mainly interested in Graphophones, since my first was a BC, which I have nursed back to working order. Keep the Christmas posters coming any of Phonographs would be good. Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas. Kind Regards
