Based on the photos provided, you have a set of early 20th-century 78 RPM shellac records pressed by the Berliner Gram-O-Phone Co. Limited in Montreal, Canada. These records represent an important piece of Canadian audio history. Below is a breakdown of their age, origin, and estimated market value. Age and Origin The labels indicate these were manufactured between 1910 and 1924. Manufacturer: The Berliner Gram-O-Phone Co. was the Canadian affiliate of the Victor Talking Machine Company. The "Nipper" Logo: The iconic image of the dog (Nipper) listening to the gramophone was a trademark used on Victor and Berliner products starting around 1900. The Black Label (My Mother's Prayer): This specific design (the "Patents Label") was used roughly between 1910 and 1916. The Red Label (The Prayer Perfect): Red labels typically denoted "Red Seal" records—Victor’s premium line featuring higher-priced celebrity artists like Alma Gluck. This specific recording by Alma Gluck dates to approximately 1917–1918. Estimated Value Generally, early 78s from this era have more historical interest than high monetary value. Alma Gluck (Red Label): While she was a massive star, her records were produced in such high volume that they are very common today The Album Set: Your records are stored in a specialized Victor Index Binder. A complete binder in good condition with all 10 records as a decorative or historical set. Pickup category timeslot {A}
