The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here we have four tags for phonographs.

The first is a National Phonograph Company International Correspondence School tag.

The middle two are from Columbia, tags they used internally to mark prototype machines and such.

The bottom is from James O'Dea - a dealer in New Jersey.
The tags are $35 for all of them.

Nominal shipping is additional.

And now, sadly, cancelled.

Turns out the one I wanted won’t fit. Thanks for sending the measurements, Shawn.

These are still available. False alarm from Peter.

To help other potential buyers, here are the dimensions of the O’Dea dealer tag:

The tag is 2-½" long by ½” tall, and the brad holes are approximately 2-⅜" apart.

Sadly it doesn’t work for replacing the obviously missing tag on my branded Gem. I’ve been looking for a tag for it for years, so this was a sad near-miss. Hard to find something narrow and long like that, and the O’Dea tags are the only ones I have seen in that format.

Good luck with the sale.
