Manor Record Company, New York, NY (right). A 1940s record label. Don't know exact date of this particular record.
Madison Record Co., 1926-1931. This is one the Grey Gull related labels. This particular record was recorded in June, 1926.
Magnolia Records Company, Hollywood, CA. This label was owned by Horace Heidt. Not sure of date but at least 1940s.
Montgomery Ward, 1933-1941. Montgomery Ward records were produced by RCA Victor, Decca and United States Record Corporation at various points in their existence. This particular record was recorded in October 1938.
Mozart, 1916-1917, St. Louis, MO. Vertical cut record. Made for the Mozart Talking Machine Company by the Rex Talking Machine Corporation. Mozart Talking Machine were the makers of the "Mozart" phonograph. It is unclear when the Mozart record first appeared (still researching) as the trade directory of Feb. 1917 in Talking Machine World didn't list Mozart under Records but had been selling phonographs since 1916.
Metrotone Records. Mfg. by Metrotone Record Co., Brooklyn, NY.
Major Records. Manufactured by Thomas J. Valentino, Inc. New York, NY (left). Major was known for making sound effects records.
Majestic Records, Inc. Subsidiary of Majestic Radio & Television Corporation. New York, NY. This is the "other" Majestic and not related to the Majestic for which I did the research on (actually there's another, from the 20's, for which I do not have an example). This is a mid to late 1940's label that saw its demise in 1948.
