International


We have found several gramophones bearing an ID tag labelled International Piano & Gramophone Co., Montreal. It is not known whether this company is a manufacturer or simply a distributor. One example also shows a crown and "Toronto-Montreal-Winnipeg-Vancouver" which is distinctive of a gramophone branded "Imperial". (see Imperial page).



An upright model for sale through Facebook Marketplace in 2025 in Brantford, Ontario. Beneath the International Piano & Gramophone Co. tag, the cabinet is labelled "Modele Artiste". The door hardware idicates U.S. manufacture which was not uncommon at the time. The cabinet was constructed in Canada and the hardware, including the motor, was often imported from the U.S. The phonograph was assembled in Canada.




An upright model for sale through Facebook Marketplace in 2023, located in Montreal, Québec. Perhaps the International Piano & Gramophone Co. tag is covering the word "Imperial".
