Collection: Victor Parts

The Victor Talking Machine Company, established in 1901 by Eldridge R. Johnson, was a pivotal American company in the early days of sound recording. Based in Camden, New Jersey, it became famous for its Victrola brand of phonographs, which featured innovative designs and superior sound quality that set industry standards. Victor played a significant role in popularizing recorded music, producing a vast catalog of records that included classical, jazz, and popular music. Its iconic logo, featuring "Nipper" the dog listening to a phonograph, became a symbol of quality and reliability. The company's influence peaked in the early 20th century, and in 1929, it was acquired by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), leading to the creation of RCA Victor, which continued to be a major player in the music and entertainment industries.
