[78-L] Air Check records

[Glenn Longwell]

Before I sent my message last night I checked Billboard for the Normanaires hoping that would give me a clue but I came up empty.

I have an image of AC 1005-A, also with the Normanaires and Fred Norman Orch. 
Tunes numbered 13-15.
This is odd since 1000 has tunes 1-3 coupled with 4-6.
This might indicate that only a single 6-track record was issued in range 1002-1004.
Label not in ARLD. Are label and records with Normanaires mentioned in Billboard?

>>> Anyone know where this label is from and dates?  I bought one today at an estate sale.  I got 78-2001.  
Here's a picture of 78-2002 that I found on the web:

I left 78-2003 behind at the sale.  It was warped so I just got this one.

Each song is 1 minute 30 seconds or shorter. First side was 4 minutes 28 seconds total.  It's definitely 50s.  The fact that the catalog number has a prefix of '78' tells me it was when other formats were popular as well.  I saw on another website another disk by Air Check they claimed was ca. 1952.  It didn't have the '78' prefix for the catalog number.

So I'm curious where they're from and date range.
