According to the linked JVC page, it was founded in 1927. Which is correct, 1922 or 1927?

Can you tell me how much a 1904 Victrola is worth. I also have about 100 records. --68.61.87.102 17:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Nancy

Roland Gellat in "The Fabulous Phonograph" states that the sale of Victor to Seligman & Speyer was signed on 7 December 1926. The David Sarnoff Library Online lists the date as January 1927. However, the same source lists John C. Jay (Partner J & W Seligman & Co.) Director, 1926-1928

and

DeWitt Millhauser (Partner Speyer & Co.) Director, 1926-1928

So,1926 appears to be the correct date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.3.60 (talk) 08:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The JVC website lists the founding of the Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan as 1927. Other sources list it as 1922. According to the David Sarnoff Library in 1927 Victor Purchased additional interest in Canada. Also Southwestern Victor Distr. Co., Dallas: Calif. Victor Distr. Co., San Francisco: Northwest Victor Distr. Co., Seattle; and Victor Talking Machine Co. of Japan. Ltd. In 1928 Victor sold 32% interest in Victor Talking Machine Co. Of Japan. It would seem that JVC was in existence before 1927. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.14.174 (talk) 06:50, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
