[78-L] Orient Viva-tonal record

[Roger Wade]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in learning more about a record label I recently posted on my Really Old Records Facebook page.  You can see it here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Really-Old-Records/113492545338506?ref=search

It says that it is made by Korea Orient Co. Ltd. which seems to make it an import.  The "Viva-tonal Recording" notation at the top of the label seems to make a connection to Columbia.  I haven't been able so far to learn anything about it.  I'm guessing late 1920s to early 1930s as the time of issue just from the use of the word Viva-tonal.

Have any of our esteemed list members seen this before?

Many thanks.
