Victor Monarch 3163 Metropolitan Orchestra Eldridge Johnson Plantation Player V+

63

Beautiful early victor monarch 78. Has light scratching throughout and some scuffs. Has one noticeable deeper scratch about 1/8" long. If you would like to know how it sounds please ask. Please read below about tonight's great auction set and about shipping and return policies. 

For sale tonight at auction I have not one but two of the truly rare and scarce "Victor Ten Inch" label 78s. Produced for just 7 days in January 1901, before switching to the "Victor Monarch" label style, there are somewhere around 3 dozen known copies still in existence. I would argue the two copies I have for sale tonight make that roughly 38 copies, and possibly the only known copy of #3016 "Impecunious Davis" by the Metropolitan Orchestra featuring the "Victor Ten Inch" label. (#3013 by Macdonough & Westminster Chimes has appeared for sale once before in 2010 selling for $2200.)

Also for sale at auction tonight are 16 of the early Victor Monarch label featuring "Eldridge R Johnson"  and 6 Victor 7" of the gramophone, improved, and victor label style. 

This is the best auction set I have yet been able to put together and it is one you will not want to miss!

Thank You for bidding.

SHIPPING

I will present two options at checkout: Media Mail $5.37 and .50 for each additional and priority mail w/insurance $9 and $1 for each additional. Any 78 that sells over $150 must go priority. 

International buyers please contact me about shipping options.

PACKAGING

I pack all my records professionally between 4 new 10.5"x10.5" cardboard pads, wrapped in 8 ft of large bubble bubblewrap, and placed it in a well packed new 12x12x4 box. My feedback also shows a consistent track record of buyers being pleased with how I package 78s; no need to worry about it arriving safely!

RETURNS 

I accept returns. If the item arrived not as described or damaged, I will pay return shipping. Returns for any other reason will be honored, but buyer pays return shipping. Item must arrive returned in the condition you received it. I do not do partial refunds, if you are unhappy with your purchase please contact me and we can start the return process. 

This will be my last auction set on this Ebay account. I will continue to list fixed priced 78s (and maybe an auction here and there) for a short period as I transition to a new business account and ebay store. Thank you for all your business and I look forward to continuing to sell great 78s to my great repeat buyers.
