Please check my other auctions and be aware that in the coming days and weeks I’ll  be offering hundreds of collectible 78rpm records of all types. All of these items are from the collection and estate of Peter G. Leavitt of Pittston, Maine. Pete was a well known dealer of vintage recorded music for over thirty years.

I worked for Pete for over fifteen years and try to be as conservative in my grading as he was so, satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back per eBay's 14 day return policy. If you have any issue at all with quality, grading, or shipping costs, let me know. We'll work out a refund, a credit or another record. Have a look at my feedback before you bid
