The Stinson Trading Company received some of the Asch/Disc masters in the bankruptcy settlement. Those masters were not available to Folkways (Moe Asch's new label after the Disc collapse) nor Smithsonian Folkways, which acquired the Folkways assets from Moe Asch's estate.

Disc went bankrupt in 1947, before the advent of the Lp. Stinson released Asch and Disc 78's masters using the Stinson label with the old catalog numbers (still on 78). In the early 50's, Stinson transferred the old albums to 10" lp's. Later the 10" lp's were expanded with additional cuts and issued on 12" LP's. The label continued to release recordings until the 1990s.
