This is what Lardy’s database says about Lyra (Bruno).
“Bruno was founded in 1834, in New York City. For a brief period of time during the 1830's the company was in partnership with C. F. Martin, before Martin moved to Pennsylvania.
Bruno distributed a variety of musical instruments, including Ukuleles and Banjoleles, which were produced by all the big manufacturers like Regal and Lange. Bruno usually re branded the instruments under their own name or one of their other brand names such as Hanalei Banjuke, (launched in 1917), Maxitone, Bon Ton, Glee Club, Lyra, Dandy Line, Peach, Vernon, Conqueror (reg 1925), Ventura, and Winston. After WWII Bruno continued using a lot of these brand names but now they were put on instrument imported from places like Occupied Japan, Taiwan and even West Germany.”
