One of the many smaller records manufactured by Crystalate in the 1920s, Kiddyphone is obviously aimed at the very young, but the records are of the same fare as other small records of the time: dance band, military bands, banjo solos and ballads.
Kiddyphone records exist in three sizes: 5½", 6" and 7". The 5½" & 7" series seems to date from the same period, with the 6" ones appearing slightly later. Confusingly, the 7" and 6" records are both numbered from 1, while the 5½" ones are (probably) numbered from 100 upwards (though I've just found number 99, so....).

 

This is my initial listing. Please e-mail me if you have any further information.                                    Page last updated: October 09, 2011
