Silvertone Records was a record label manufactured for Sears, Roebuck and Company 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.
