This is one of approximately 80 records from my wife's grandfather's collection. He was born in 1893, but we don't know whether he bought these new as a young man, or whether he acquired them second hand in later life. However, most of them seem to date from the early 1900's.

I am not an expert or a collector, so I do not know how to describe their condition, nor what would be considered a normal or reasonable condition for a 100+ year old record! I have therefore photographed them as carefully as I can - bidders are responsible for zooming in on photos and making their own assessment of condition. I have photographed all playing sides at two different angles to help you distinguish between real blemishes and spurious lighting effects. The rear sides of single-siders have also been photographed.

Some have sleeves, some do not. But I have no way of knowing which sleeves belong with which record!
Please note I have had to adjust my postage costs to take account of the high cost of record mailers - almost £1 each. Sorry, no returns, because I do not have the facilities to test them and have described them as honestly as I can.
Thank you for looking.
