Jewel

U.S. record label (1927-1932). New York, NY.

Releases were pressed by the Scranton Button Company for the Regal Record Company, Inc. and its successor, the American Record Corporation.

Earliest issues had black-on-green labels. The more common gold-on-red labels first appeared in 1928. After the label's owner, Regal Record Company, Inc., had merged with Scranton Button Company and others to form the American Record Corporation in July 1929, the company name "Jewel Record Company" at the bottom of the label was replaced with "Made in U.S.A."

Many Jewel couplings duplicate those of another Regal label, Oriole, and have catalog numbers corresponding to Orioles, plus 4000 (e.g. Oriole 2089 = Jewel 6089). Pressing quality of Jewel releases was inferior, even by Scranton's lax standards. The label was discontinued in early 1932.
