Description

 
Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you look at this one.  I'm listing another eclectic assortment of antiques and collectibles, and I suspect there will be something to interest just about everyone.

Here's an excellent copy of an early 7" Berliner Gramophone Record.  Title is "Uncle Josh's Arrival in New York," and it's performed by comic Cal Stewart.  Record no. is 047, and the pressing date etched into the interior of the disc is 3/29/99.  This is one several collectible Berliner titles I'll be listing in the next few weeks.

Typically these Berliner records are in rough shape, but this one -- like the others I'll be selling -- is surprisingly nice, with a reasonably clean playing surface and no skips, repeats or loud pops as the record plays through. No warped areas, no buckling, no divots, no significant marks of any type.  I played the entire record through on a period-correct phonograph, and it sounds good for any early acoustic record, all the more so for a Berliner title.  Some normal hiss and background noise, but nothing distracting.

If you're bidding from overseas, please contact me in advance for a shipping quote. That's about it. I will pack the record carefully and properly. I've been shipping fragile antique phonographs and wireless sets for years, and I know how to get them to you safely. Buyer prepays and includes shipping. Paypal okay.
