7" Improved Gram-O-Phone Record #A-215 Piccaninnie Polka, Xylophone Solo by Chas. P. Lowe, (9/21/1900). Not sure how to grade these records but it plays thru fine on my machine with a bamboo needle, Loud & Clear, with light background noise and static on the first few grooves. Please view pictures for condition.

Price includes FREE USPS Media Mail Shipping. Thank You, and Good Luck, Zwebie.
