(later known as RCA Victor and then RCA Records); Zonophone; Berliner's (and later Victor's) British affiliate the Gramophone Co. Ltd.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Nipper (* 1884 in Bristol; † September 1895 in Kingston upon Thames, England) war der Hund, der auf den Labels verschiedener Plattenfirmen in einer Pose abgebildet wurde, in der er aufmerksam in einen Grammophontrichter hinein zu lauschen scheint.
