Up for sale is a rare find! This is an entire case of antique Phonograph 12" 78 RPM records from the early 1900's that are in pristine condition. The album case is not in the best shape but the records themselves are NEAR MINT to MINT! Seven of the 12 records are one sided and included the singers Alma Gluck (world famous soprano) and Harry Lauder. The other five are double sided and are Orchestra recordings. The one and only owner bought these brand new when he was young. According to his 90 year old son, he worked for 10 cents a day and saved his money to buy these recording for $1.50 each. His son went on to play piano and was the musical director for Don Rickles in Las Vegas in the 70's. So he kept them safe and in great shape as well. These records are hard to find in this condition.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!!
NOTE: This is ONE OF SEVEN albums that are in the owner's collection.
