Vintage Phonograph Hoodies

The Victor Talking Machine Company was an American record company and phonograph manufacturer. The company was founded by engineer Eldridge R. Johnson, who had been manufacturing gramophones for inventor Emile Berliner, to play his disc records. After a series of legal issues between Berliner, Johnson and their former business partners, the two joined to form the Consolidated Talking Machine Co. in order to combine Berliner's patents for the disc record and Gramophone, along with Johnson's patents for improving its performance and fidelity. The Victor Talking Machine Co. was incorporated officially on October 3, 1901 shortly before an agreement with Columbia Records to share their various disc record patents.

Thomas A. Edison invented the phonograph, the first device for recording and playing back sound, in 1877. After patenting the invention and benefiting from the publicity and acclaim it received, Edison turned their attention to the development of electric lighting, playing no further role in the development of the phonograph for nearly a decade. Edison’s improved phonograph was released in 1888. The original records were wax cylinders which were later replaced by Blue Amberol cylinders, and finally, vertical-cut Diamond Discs, which would be the format that would lead to modern-day vinyl records. Until 1910 the recordings did not carry the names of the artists, making it all the more important to keep the record and the sleeve together.

This vintage phonograph, dated about the 1880s, used a horn to collect sound which channeled to a stylus. This stylus pressed against either a tinfoil drum or a wax cylinder to record the sound.

Vintage Thomas A. Edison Phonograph patent drawing from 1891. This patent is just one of the more than a thousand patents Edison was granted for his inventions. The phonograph was developed as a result of Thomas Edison's work on two other inventions, the telegraph and the telephone. In 1877, Edison was working on a machine that would transcribe telegraphic messages through indentations on paper tape, which could later be sent over the telegraph repeatedly.

Zonophone (early on also rendered as Zon-O-Phone) was a record label founded in 1899 in Camden, New Jersey, by Frank Seaman. The Zonophone name was not that of the company but was applied to records and machines sold by Seaman's Universal Talking Machine Company from 1899 to 1903. The name was subsequently acquired by Columbia Records, the Victor Talking Machine Company, and finally the Gramophone Company/EMI Records. It has been used for a number of record publishing labels by these companies.

Pathé introduced a line of "needle-cut" records, at first only for the USA market in 1920. The needle-cut records were laterally-cut discs designed to be compatible with standard phonographs, and they were labelled Pathé Actuelle. In the following year, these "needle-cut" records were introduced in the United Kingdom and within a few more years they were selling more than the vertical Pathés, even on the continent. Attempts to market the Pathé vertical-cut discs abroad were abandoned in 1925, though they continued to sell in France until 1932.
