The Victor Talking Machine Company, founded in 1901 by Eldridge R. Johnson and Emile Berliner (inventor of the flat-disc gramaphone), was an American pioneer in sound recording and phonograph manufacturing. Famous for its “His Master’s Voice” trademark featuring the dog Nipper, it revolutionized home entertainment with its iconic, cabinet-housed “Victrola” record players, first introduced in 1906 and designed to look like a piece of fine furniture when closed, rather than a piece of machinery. The company operated until 1929 when they were bought out by the Radio Corporation of America, subsequently becoming known as the RCA Victor division, with their immense catalog of recordings ultimately acquired by Sony Music Entertainment.
