Voice-O-Graph Labelography (Part 7)

This is my seventh update to my Voice-O-Graph Labelography project. I have enough information to post just one more variant for the list today. Sadly it is undated and I have not found anything to corroborate it's age. It is similar to no other disc in the labelography. Presently it is listed as "Yellow Label." I have found evidence of anther disc that I will document later. It is just a red-text variant of the Blue on White disc. I've estimated to date to the 1960s.

Remaining work needs done in the area of date confirmation and integration of the anachronistic metal-core green label discs. I also do not discount the possibility of more color variants. [Contributions are always welcome if you know more.]

    I found your blog while trying to find information about a Voice-o-Graph recording I recently found at an estate sale. It's a curious record. I don't have a turntable so, I can't test the recording, but it appears not to have any grooves. Do you know if that is how these records appear? It has a wonderful yellow and red label advertising Hubert's Museum and flea circus and Sports Palace in NYC's Times Square. If you'd like, I'd be happy to send you photos of the record.

    Yes what you're holding is a blank. The grooves are cut into it with a lathe while it is recording. I think you've found one of these: http://wfmu.org/MACrec/huberts.html
