There existed at least three different Silvertone Records. The oldest Silvertone Records was a record label manufactured for Sears Roebuck, & Co. for sale in their chain of department stores and through mail order.
Silvertone Records were manufactured c. 1905 - 1931, and then revived briefly in 1940 - 1941. Early releases were single-sided lateral-cut gramophone records; in the late 1910s double-sided discs began to be released. Most discs were manufactured by Columbia Records, while some were made by Paramount Records and Gennett Records.
There also existed a short-lived British Silvertone Records label, issuing 8-inch discs in the mid 1930s.
There is also a current British Silvertone Records, owned by Zomba Music Group. The first and most famous signing to the label was The Stone Roses in the late 1980's, with whom they later had a lengthy legal battle.
