[78-L] MERIDEN RECORD CORP information request

[Glenn Longwell]

Gart's ARLD mentions Meriden but gives no address or full company name.  The only information is that catalog number 8934 was from 12/54.  That number doesn't match the H prefix catalog number of this disc so don't know if it's the same company.

What can you tell me about MERIDEN Record Corp?

Couldn't find anything via google, or various searches,

some interesting stuff turned up centering on MERIDEN CT.,
a pressing plant owned by SONORA, operating from 1945 and sold
in 1948  to Milton Benjamin and Marie Reubens(Mrs.Benjamin)
who had a deal with ELI OBERSTEIN-Varsity.

late 40's Oberstein's WRIGHT RECORD Corp had
and office in Meriden.

was there any connection to Sonora or Oberstein?

There are a few MERIDEN label disks on auction currently 120345970293, don't
know the performers, simple black label, no street address.

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas
