Oxford Records was a record label active in the United States of America from roughly 1906 until 1916. The label was produced for Sears by several labels, including Columbia and Albany Indestructible Cylinders for cylinders and Leeds & Catlin, Zon-O-Phone, and Columbia for discs. No recording activity was undertaken by Sears. All discs were single-sided.[1][2]
History
In 1906, Sears introduced the Oxford disc to replace the earlier Harvard brand.[1] These discs in the 11000 and 16000 series, were produced by Leeds & Catlin.[1] The 1908 Sears catalog introduced 7-inch discs listed at 21 cents that were pressed by Columbia and numbered in the 7000 series.[1]
