Here are two blues 78's recorded by Bessie Smith for the Columbia label. # A4001 "Graveyard Dream Blues"/ "Jail House Blues" 1923, #13005D "St. Louis Gal Blues"/Sam Jones Blues", #14109 "Florida Bound Blues"/ "New Gulf Coast Blues" 1925. All of these 78's are worn with edge chips that don't enter playing area. I would rate them V- to V. 13005D is in the best shape, probably a V with no edge chips. These are great for playing on vintage wind-up phonos as they sound good and you don't have to worry about damaging a nice copy. Free Media mail shipping in the USA. Please email me for shipping costs outside the States! Thanks
