Very Early disc # 1165 ,,,  7" VICTOR Monarch RECORD  


Nice Band Waltz  nearly 120 years old..


     Very Early Scarce 7" Victor Monarch Record   #  1165, in   great condition from the turn of the century. One of Eldridge Johnsons first Monarch records after he registered the Victor Trademark name in 1901 but  "Pre Dog",, prior to the dog on the label. This is a  single sided record that has great volume and plays through smoothly without any issues on my Victor D phonograph using a fiber needle. There is some very very light background noise which is the norm for records over 115 years old but the recording is well above average and the background noise is not really noticeable to my ear . I'm not a record collector but   I would give it an overall rating of 8.5 out of 10.


From what I have seen on the internet,, it appears the US label was produced around 1900-1903 by Eldridge R. Johnson who’s parent company was the  Consolidated Talking Machine Company of Philadelphia and preceded the Victor Talking Machine Co.   Supposedly Eldridge Johnson came up with  a superior way  in which to reproduce multiple copies of quality records  from a single master. 


 Initially Eldridge Johnsons  records carried the label Improved Gram-O-Phone Record   the  first records ever to carry a paper label but within a year, through a court injunction,  he was prohibited from using the term  Gram-O-Phone  on the labels of any of  his superior records thus only the IMPROVED RECORD   label remained.   Once he moved his operation to New Jersey, Eldridge Johnson's Consolidated Talking Machine Company reorganized and became the Victor Talking Machine Co..   This record with the Victor Monarch label  would date right around the end of 1901 after Johnson reorganized and moved the company but he had yet to  included the Nipper Dog  Trademark on his Victor records
