Thanks Bruce. I have seen a few Majestic phonographs but they are not the same company. Although the Majestic Phonograph Company (minus the "Incorporated" - that built the phonographs) incorporated in 1916 it was in Chicago, not New York like the record manufacturer. There has been no indication these two companies were at all related or involved with one another. What also gets interesting is to see links with people that go from one phonograph or record company to another. You can probably link almost any one of these companies to another with only few degrees of separation.

That is an interesting story about the early Majestic Label (1916-1917). Have you ever come across a Majestic Phonograph ? Certainly these must be even rarer then the records.
