No...they WEREN'T on the 2165## series...which is what you were thinking
of...! Denny's Brunswick sides were cut in their Plattsburgh, NY (just 
across
the river) studios...as were a few other Canuck artists Brunswick wanted
to issue. AFAIK, Brunswick NEVER had Canadian recording facilities...
even pre-1920 when their records credited "Canada" (and were apparently
recorded in NYC...?!).
