The Gramola was an upright phonograph, likely manufactured in Quebec, typically between 1919 and 1922. The label on one example shows "Toronto - Montreal, D. Archambault, Distributor."
In August-September 1923, Talking Machine World announced a British-made table grand phonograph called a "Gramola" manufactured by The Gramophone Co. Ltd. "to meet the demand expressed by many of our dealers for a table grand instrument to sell at a price that will enable them to compete with 'cheap' types at present on the market." This phonograph is unrelated to the earlier Canadian-made machine with the same name.
