The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I gave this classical piece a try in part for the uncommon imprinted dealer stamp.
Perfectly centered on the label and overlapping the surface of the disc. The music turned out good too!

This is the first I've seen, anyone else have printed information like this on a record?

I recall to have seen this specific dealer stamp before, though not quite common at all. I have something on a Berliner that appears to be some kind of a dealer's stamp too, unfortunately it's indecipherable.

I've seen a number of Brunswick discs like that- it might be factory applied.

I have a few Brunswicks like that. Different dealer(s) than the one pictured. I would have guessed that the dealers were supplied with a special stamp rather than been factory applied.

Thanks for the replies.

I find it easy to imagine that a new shop could have received their first shipment of stock delivered with this type of promotional advertising.
