Rufus Thomas Bear Cat Sun Records 181 Original 1953 Pressing 45 RPM Sam Phillips
Rufus Thomas "Bear Cat" Sun 181 A 1953 Shaw Pressing (the "72" in the dead wax confirms this) Historic 45 rpm record Please see video below of "Bear Cat" A-side
Plays all the way through without skipping on both sides using my Shure V15 type III stylus at a 1.5 gram setting on a Technics 1200mk2 turntable (only the record is for sale here).  Scratches and dirt noise.  Decades-old fingerprints, especially in dead wax.  Worst scratches pictured.  Some green discoloration of label on B-side, also some slight discoloration on A-side but not as bad.  Was manufactured off-center and curiously reveals the top half of the phrase "USE OTHER SIDE" just above the record's center hole on the A-side.  You can see this by zooming in on the photo.
Please pay within 7 days.  Any questions?  Feel free to ask!
