Rishell Phonograph Company, Williamsport, Pennsylvania "Rishell's first phonographs were announced September 15, 1916 issue of the "Talking Machine World". The earliest known Rishell discs were produced by Pathe', which pressed a short-lived series of 10 3/4" Rishell discs from its sapphire-ball vertical cut masters. Several specimens bearing rare Sapphire lables on their reverse sides are known.
Within a short time, production shifted to the Rex Talking Machine Corporation, which produced Rishell pressings using the same couplings and 5000-series catalog numbers as corresponding Rex releases. A 12" Rishell series may also be from Rex masters.Following Rex's disappearance in late 1917, Rishell switched production to the Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Company , manufacturers of Okeh discs. Heineman's series, numbered in the 1000's, duplicated couplings and catalog numbers of early vertical-cut Okeh discs."From: "American Record Lables and Companies, An Encyclopedia (1891 - 1943)" by Allan Sutton & Kurt Nauck
