The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Has anyone seen this label before..?. It reads as follows...."This Phonograph will play Victor and Columbia records ??? Phonograph Co.". I can't make out the Phonograph company name at the bottom left.

I can't make out the word(s) at bottom left on the label, but I believe the word "and" appears on the tonearm (not that this helps identify the company name --- just pointed out for completeness).

Sorry if this sounds critical of your photography: That photo seems to focus best in the center of the label, with the bottom area being somewhat soft focus. If you photograph the bottom area as being the focus area, it will be easier to make out the words. If you have Photoshop, or similar photo editing software, you can bump up the contrast, change the color, and do other tricks that will help the words to pop out.

My mistake. I forgot to type "and" in my first post (now corrected)....it is written in the tone arm as you wrote.

If this was my pic and not from an Ebay listing.....I would have posted a far clearer pic... .

Not my best work, but it looks like it says "Radio Phonograph Co".

Is that a Lion pretending to be Nipper ?
