Herwin Records was a record label.
Herwin was founded and run by brothers Herbert and Edwin Schiele, the trade mark name being formed from their first names. Herwin Records was based in Saint Louis, Missouri, and produced records starting in 1924. Most of the material released on the label was from master discs leased from Gennett Records and Paramount Records. In 1930 Herwin was sold to the Wisconsin Chair Company, the parent of Paramount Records, which discontinued the Herwin label.
In the 1970s the Herwin label was revivied by record collector Bernie Klatzko, used for vinyl record LP re-issues of historic jazz and blues recordings.
