Brunswick (Canada) / c. 1957

Corporate background:

Launched in 1916 in Canada, the Brunswick label was sold to Warner Bros. in 1930, CBS in 1938, Decca in 1941, and finally, in the early 1970s, to MCA.

Design: The Brunswick logo has been redrawn in beautiful pen-influenced lettering which, in pre-WWI fashion, follows the outer curve; up to this point in time the logo had always run straight across.

For design reasons, the underlining swash has been dropped.

The graphics have been refined to a powerful simplification of the American flag: a single star and stripe.

Rarity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Value: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
