One of the most obscure record companies is Claxtonola, which was in business around the middle 20's in Iowa City. This was an independent concern, but it reissued some Gennett, Paramount and Black Swan masters on its own Claxtonola and National labels. The records were very sparsely distributed, and almost nothing had been known Of them until Les Zacheis, of Cedar Rapids, ran across some copies in the company warehouse at Iowa City.

The details of the most important Claxtonolas are listed below. Under the name of the Jazz Harmonizers,there were issued six of the Original Wolverines Gennett sides: Oh Baby (11852) Clax 40336 Copenhagen (11852)Clax 40336 Susie (11855A) Clax 40339 Riverboat Shuffle (11854c)Clax 40339 Sensation (9079) Clax 40375 Lazy Daddy (9080B) Clax 40375
