Interesting Record Store Marking

[mrvic2]

Hello Everyone.
I'm sure most of us have come across a record that had a marking to show its specific sale location. Typically, these come in the form of stickers, but recently, I found one thats a bit different.

This brunswick record features a stamped ring around the label, showing a dealer which after google searching it, reveals a catolog that mentions their sale of typewriters, wall paper, cameras, & even hammocks!
For me at least, its very interesting to see stuff like this, so i was wondering if any of you guys have any interesting markings left by record stores, whether a stamp like this, a sticker thats particularly interesting, or something different, & if so, post them here!

Interesting. Thats embossed and not just ink on the shellac, right? I wonder how hard they would have to stamp the record to leave an impression in the shellac

It was probably hot stamped in some sort of jig.

Nope, it is just ink. I feel no indentation when running my finger over it, its a bit raised even.

Ahhh I see. Well, still really interesting approach. Considerate of them to not cover up label logos, trademarks or recording details, like most dealer stickers.

The only Fonotipia I have has a dealer sticker from a phonograph shop in Barcelona, unfortunately covering up some of that gorgeous label art… I also have a few Turkish records with a dealer sticker for a shop in Paris specializing in middle eastern records. It’s fun to imagine what a shop like that may have been like to explore, 100 years ago. These are really the only notable dealer stickers in my collection that come to mind.
