HMV 1950's Postage Box for 10" 78rpm Records

A very unusual HMV box for 78rpm records. Would suit a collector, I doubt many survive.

And a collection of 20 period canvas cotton sleeves
these look handmade, very unusual and could do with an iron.



Will be sent in another box.

All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested.

MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!

NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.

EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ring wear or edge wear.

NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ring wear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.

VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ aging, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spine wear, ring wear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!

Much of the vinyl that we sell has been cleaned! This process is free!
I will typically spend approximately 5-10 minutes on each record.

Larger less valuable lots, if specified, will have been cleaned on the VPI 16.5 machine shipped from the USA. On this setup we use Moth Isopropyl Alcohol cleaner, VPI Brush and an Audio Technica AT 6012X velvet cleaning pads.

For valuable 1st pressings or collectable vinyl we clean the vinyl on a state of the art Keith Monks Discovery One as used by the BBC for transcription records. We use our own specially formulated blend of fluid that we mix ourselves but recommended by collectors.

UK Shipping rates are below. We are happy to ship vinyl to others countries, please contact us for a quote.

I ship all my vinyl in good cardboard protective envelopes with stiffeners when required. In the event that these are out of stock I will hand make an appropriate envelope out of stiff cardboard. 78rpm records are shipped in pizza style boxes or larger.

We prefer PAYPAL payments. This is required within 24 hours of purchase. Please note that any delay in payment will guarantee a delay in postage.

We are happy to accept returns within 14 days of the auction ending. Returns will not be accepted later than 14 days or if contact has been made later than 14 days. The buyer is responsible for the return postage but we will refund the initial postage.

If you have a problem with anything you buy from us please get in contact and we'll try are best to work an acceptable solution out with you. I'm a small, friendly family based Ebay seller and not either a company or big corporation.
