Although RCA acquired Victor in 1929, the "RCA Victor" name didn't officially appear on the labels until the fall of 1945. General Electric bought out RCA in 1986, which almost immediately sold off the record division {but keeping the rights to the "Nipper"/"His Master's Voice" trademark} to BMG.

Barry I. Grauman In the U.K., they used the Nipper logo to avoid confusion with Victor, but they called the label "His Master's Voice", or HMV, and also made phonographs under the HMV name, and became popular in the U.K.

On AOL just type in images, then select AOL image search, type in acoustic phonographs, and a number of photos, and various websites will appear.

Very informative. Thank you. Do you know if there are any websites that may have more photos from those early acoustic recording days -- or perhaps even old film clips -- showing the actual studios of the time?
