World Record from the World Phonograph Co., Chicago. 1918-1920. World started out as a vertical cut label and eventually went to universal cut. This example is a vertical cut. World's vertical records were produced by Pathe Freres.
Word Records. Waco, TX
Wallis Original Record Corporation. Linden, NJ. 1950s. All releases I've seen are from Ruth Wallis and are comedy songs, double entendre type stuff.
Waldorf Record Corp. The first records has them as Harrison, NJ and the second is Newark, NJ. 1950s. This label was run by Enoch Light and many of the songs feature him and his orchestra. Following are numerous labels from Waldorf. First is Top Hit Tunes in four different colors. Then comes 18 Top Hits in various colors, including one variation called "Bonus Selection." This has songs all by one artist, in this case Dean Martin. The final label is also a Bonus Selection. However, the label title is the a description of the record. In this case it's "A Tribute to Tommy Dorsey As Performed By His Alumni Band led by Bobby Byrne."
Walt Disney. Mickey Mouse Club. Distributed by Am-Par Record Corp.
White Eagle. I believe this to be late 1940s.
Willida Records. New York, NY. Late 1940s. Children's records.
Windsor Records. Temple City, CA. 1950s. (left)
Windsor. Don't know date or location for this label.
