The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Thanks Dan,I'm not sure if they were made by Victor or if a dealer had them made.I do know that they were very well made.The 87 year old guy that had them,put them into real ugly frames.They have to go!!! .

I shot this photo whilst in Kyoto, Japan last year. Really didn't expect to see it there as I never find gramophone related items in my concert trips to Asia. I did once, quite by mistake, find a great phonograph shop in Seoul, Korea and cannot for the life of me remember where it was.

HMV and Columbia sign in Kyoto:

Now that is something you don't see every day.In Japan!!!.That has to be very rare as they like everything to be new and modern.What a surviver!!! .I guess I will add another early Canadian HMV to the thread.In hopes that our friend Dan will toss another great piece in as well..... .

Wow, love that advertising stuff! Thanks for posting!

Don't forget my UK contributions - some HMV, Columbia and Aeolian posters!
