[78-L] Victor Scroll Labels in Canada?

[David Lennick]

Nope, Canada never had them. Maybe a slightly modified scroll for the Program 
Transcriptions, but for general releases Canadian Victor stuck with Batwing 
right through 1946. We were even a year late changing that to RCA Victor, we 
kept Buff Bluebird into 1939 and used the Staff label for only about six months 
as well. The first Scroll label in Canada might have been on the lp Nilsson 
Schmilsson.
