Here we have Columbia note the notes label Ottoman Turkish 78 rpm record. The Turkish language changed to the latin alphabet in 1928. This record was given to me by the family of an immigrant who came to the US from the Isle of Rhodes in 1916. At that time Rhodes was a possession of the Ottoman Empire. This is Columbia # E6110.
This record is in very good condition. hardly any scuffs or scratches, and there is only slight graying in the grooves. I played both sides on my Victrola XVI with a new steel needle. Side A is a Duet. The other side is a female Chorus. For a collector of ancient Turkish Recordings, the record might have great interest. This record will be shipped in a special Re-useable cardboard box. The shipping cost is $9.75. International at cost. Thank you.
