Federal (3)

U.S. label (1920-1925). Originally manufactured by the Federal Record Corporation of Albany, New York. The company was formed following reorganization of the Indestructible Phonographic Record Company, which had manufactured Indestructible Record cylinders since 1906. Federal used its own masters, but also drew on masters from The New York Recording Laboratories and the Regal Record Company, Inc.. Federal's Albany factory was destroyed by fire in 1922, but Federal continued to record at its New York studio and contracted its pressing to the Scranton Button Company. In 1924, Federal sold its label and remaining assets to the Scranton Button Company, which discontinued the label in 1925.
