Columbia black and silver disc labels - chronology?

[52089]

Would someone be kind enough to post information on the early Columbia black and silver labels? I just bought nice group of them and would like to get an approximation of pressing and/or release dates.

Thanks in advance.

There is an excellent book called Note The Notes, by Michael Sherman and Kurt Nauk. It gives the history of all the Columbia labels from 1901-58. You can get it at Amazon.com for $14.00 plus shipping. Hurry, because there is 2 left in stock. It is a great book to have.

I've learned something from informations written here:

Doublemike - thanks for the link, that's 90% of what I was looking for.

Harvey - thanks, I know that book exists and will probably pick up a copy someday, but I'm mostly an Edison guy. Aldo FYI, Kurt has these on his website for lower than the Amazon price.

Last question then - which came first, the "disc record" labels with the silver ring or without the silver ring?
