Here are two antiques in one photo. The chalk ware RCA promotional record holder displays an RCA 78 RPM recording of the Stegmaier "Gold Medal Polka", as done by The Norman Leydon Orchestra.
I obtained the holder at an auction of a radio/TV repairman's shop. And I got the 78 at some kind of a sale, the specifics of which I can not recall.
Reproductions in metal of the holder are available, but the chalk ware originals are more desirable.
Nipper says "Let's Go Stegmaier"
Hi Ted, what a really great chalkware holder of RCA with Nipper the dog listening to his master's voice, always loved that image - great find!
Thank you, Jenni! Yes, that RCA advertising creationpairing Nipper with the Victrola is timeless! :)
Thank you all for your loves of this nostalgic piece of advertising!!!!!
