Steve Redman supplies photographs of a table-top machine labelled "Voice-O-Phone", Made in Canada, Toronto. Steve writes: "there is little information about this brand, but because of the Silvertone reproducer and the similarity to other Silvertone machines, it's a good bet that they were a small furniture manufacturer that for a short time subcontracted for Sears".
