Amerikanische Firmen nicht im rm.org? (11.02.2008) Hilmer Grunert  478/1
Hallo Sammlerfreunde, mir sind Werbeanzeigen Amerikanischer Zeitschriften von 1915-1919 in die Hände gekommen, in denen Werbung von folgenden 2 Firmen auftauchen, die so mit der Originalbezeichnung hier im rm.org nicht auftauchen: Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N. J., U.S.A. und Columbia Graphophone Company, New York sollten diese Firmen angelegt werden?, oder können Geräte die unter diese Firmennamen hergestellt wurden anderweitig gemeldet werden. Bei Victor gibt es da z.B. das Modell "Victrola XVI" das seinerzeit (1915) 200 US$ gekostet hat. Bei Columbia gibt es das Modell Grafonola, das in der Zeitschrift "The Ladies` Home Journal" Ausgabe "March 1918" sogar in einer Farbigen Werbeanzeige erscheint. Herzlichen Gruß Hilmer Grunert
