This label started as a custom label for Sonny Flaharty and the Young Americans, In 1965 it was restarted by with Arvery L. Webster as the main owner. Along with Sonny, Robert Dye and David Bartholemew were part of the operation. This group operated as Essay Productions, located at 1610 Alexandersville Rd. Shad O'Shea was involved for three 45s on the label, with a different design and numbering system. A final 45 was released in 1971 under the guidance of Tawanka Productions. Initially the label was known as Falcon but renamed to Alco after #1001, presumably to avoid conflict with the NYC label.

Two records were assigned #1006. The assumption is that one should be 1005 or 1007 - currently no found records have those numbers. #1001 issued as Falcon - all others as Alco.
