The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just bought a World Record manufactured by the World Record Phonograph Company of Chicago. However, I was unable to find info. When I did a Google search , Columbia Records popped up? I did find a Talking Machine company of Chicago, but nothing about World Record?

I added a photo of the record.

I have wondered for years about the World Phonograph Company. I have not seen the label on your record before, but I have this really nice metal sign that advertises The World Phonograph Company from Chicago, Illinois. It could be a Columbia Client company, but in the advertisement it says it will play all Disc records. That makes me think it had a reproducer that could move to various positions. I am not aware of any Columbia machines that did that. But, who knows.

Anyway, the sign is wonderful. Sorry for the shadow on the left side. I didn't want to take it down to get a picture.

That was my thought as well!

Nice Poster!

Thank you for this OrthoFan!

I've never seen a World record. As you know, that was one of those companies with a short lived career. Arto also said Universal Record on their label.edisonplayer.

Wtf is arto?
