1928 Antique Record 78rpm
The Lost Chord / Abide With Me

Gwen Lewis
5019-A/B (Broadcast Twelve) 10" Shellac Record

CONDITION:  Record is good, free of skips.  The labels are good, but have Royalty Stamps on each side.  Record released in 1928, and has sound technology of this time period.  Comes as shown in photos. 

Please read all info above, so you know what to expect.  I do not clean records, they will likely have fingerprints.  Please view all photos, they are just as much part of the description as the write up. 

SHIPPING:  Use Calculators*
PAYMENT:  Due within 3 Days of sale NON-SMOKING HOME
NOTE:  I TEST ALL RECORDS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.  I AM LOOKING FOR SKIPS AND ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE AGE OF THE RECORD.  ALL ANTIQUE SHELLAC RECORDS ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME OLD TIME SOUND, AND SOME DEGREE OF NOISE/HISS.  IF MINIMAL - I DO NOT MENTION.  IF IT IS SOMETHING I FEEL IS BAD, I WILL MENTION.  ALL SHELLAC RECORDS I DO NOT CLEAN, THEY MAY HAVE FINGERPRINTS.  I LEAVE CLEANING UP TO THE NEW OWNER. 

COMBINED SHIPPING:  I WILL COMBINE UP TO ABOUT 8 RECORDS IN 1 SHIPMENT AT A TIME - UNLESS ITS A LOT THAT HAS MORE THAN 8 - THEN IT WILL BE WHATEVER IS IN THAT LOT.  ANY MORE WILL NEED TO GO IN ANOTHER BOX - AS I NEED TO ALLOW FOR PACKING.
SHELLAC RECORDS ARE SHIPPED ONE OF 4 WAYS - ALL INSURED - AS SHELLAC RECORDS ARE BREAKABLE.  THEY WILL SHIP EITHER BY USPS GROUND ADVANTAGE, USPS PRIORITY, UPS GROUND OR FEDEX HOME DELIVERY - WHICHEVER IS CHEAPEST.  PLEASE SELECT THE CHEAPEST OPTION.

Records do not have sleeves, unless they are in the photographs.  Most my 78rpm's are singles - and were in an album book.  You will receive the record only - unless stated otherwise.

I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL GRADER, I LISTEN TO ALL MY RECORDS SOLD ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND GIVE HONEST OPINIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS BASED ON MY OBSERVATION.  I SELL MANY RECORDS, BUT I AM NOT A RETAIL-RECORD SELLER, AS I SELL MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Items are tested on a Crosley record player, and described here as played on my player.  Players can differ in their quality of playback at times.  It is possible that no skipping on my player, might on yours - and vice versa - but most of these 78's do not skip, and are built to last.

*WHY DO WE NOT SHIP MEDIA MAIL FOR THESE RECORDS?  FOR SHELLAC RECORDS, I DO NOT SHIP MEDIA MAIL, BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO DELICATE, AND REQUIRE MORE PACKING - AND NEED TO BE HANDLED IN A SAFER MANNER THAN MEDIA MAIL IS TREATED.  PLUS, IT NEEDS TO BE INSURED - AND MEDIA MAIL DOES NOT OFFER/ALLOW INSURANCE.
**PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS/STORE
I will have more box sets, Lots and Single Records of vintage time, shellac & vinyl - check back!
I have over 100 records to list, and I don't list them all at once, so save me as a seller - and check often.

Return Policy:  Shellac records are very fragile, and for this purpose - I am not including returns - as one time shipping is enough to chance these delicate recordings.  However - rest assured, that your shipment is INSURED, via every method of shipping listed here, against damage.  I do not want to risk shipping them back/forth, I hope you understand.  Items are as pictures, and as described.   If you item is damaged, you will get your money back.

Damaged Items:  If your item is damaged - it likely will not need to be returned. However, there are things necessary for refund.  Take several photos of the item, with the original packaging - showing the damage.  This must be sent to me, via Ebay Messages to document the damage - so that I can make a claim.  You will get a refund once you submit the photos to me - usually the same day photos are received.  Please take clear in-focus photos.  Damaged items need to be reported ASAP - not within 30 days...30 days is for a "return", not a damaged item.
Handling Time:  This is when your item is due to ship.  It requires 1 full business day to prepare items for shipping.  This does not included weekends, or postal holidays.
