The Flag label was still is use when Columbia started electric recordings early in 1925. They're definitely around, though not something you tend to see every day.

Question : Is there any indication on the label or disc that it is an electric recording ?

There would be a "W" in a circle by the matrix number indicating a Western Electric recording. These flag label electrics do turn up from time to time, I have some, maybe a dozen, including an earlier Bessie Smith electric.

I've got the John Peel and 367-D Honey, I'm In Love With You ( from Mercenary Mary) and Aloma
Both by The Columbians ( Selvin??)
"Honey" is a particularly forward and vibrant early electrical.

The number of my electric Flag by Van and Schenck is 352-D.I wonder if there are copies around with the black Viva-Tonal type label?There probably are.edisonplayer
