The '''Victor Talking Machine Company''' was an American recording company and [[phonograph]] manufacturer, incorporated in 1901. Victor was an independent enterprise until 1929 when it was purchased by the [[Radio Corporation of America]] (RCA) and became the  '''RCA Victor''' Division of the Radio Corporation of America until late 1968, when it was renamed [[RCA Records]].

Established in [[Camden, New Jersey]], Victor was the largest and most prestigious firm of its kind in the world, best known for its use of the iconic "[[His Master's Voice]]" trademark, the design,  production and marketing of the popular "Victrola" line of phonographs and the company's extensive catalog of operatic and classical music recordings by world famous artists on the prestigious [[RCA Victor Red Seal|Red Seal]] label. After Victor merged with RCA in 1929, the company maintained its eminence as America's foremost producer of records and phonographs until the 1960s.
