Description

WORLD WAR II Victory-Disc (V-Disc) 406 A/B *12" 78 RPM * USA 1940s *

You're looking at a rare vintage "V-Disc" vinyl record from the 1940s. The V-Disc records were given to the military during World War II as a moral booster and as entertainment. My grandfather recently gave me his stack of v-disc records, telling me how he had carried them everywhere throughout the Philippines during World War II. Surprisingly enough, most of these records are in excellent condition.

Wikipedia has a detailed description of the history of V-Discs:

*If purchasing multiple records, the shipping will be combined and the reduced shipping cost of each additional record after the first will depend on your location. Wait until my invoice to pay, so I can recalculate shipping.

*High-resolution pictures of both sides of the record can be provided upon request.

*Shipping
>I ship via USPS Priority Mail Domestic & International, usually it can be sent out the next day via carrier pickup (preferred).
>I can also ship via USPS Media Mail - but I will have to purchase a box, and your location will determine which choice is best for you. Send me a message if you wish me to ship via Media Mail, and I will send you an invoice with the total amount due and I will note when I expect to ship out the record (maybe 1 day, but possibly 2-3 days if bad weather, very busy, etc - I walk.)
>Let me know as soon as possible if a record arrives in broken condition. I double-check each item before I package it because I will not sell an unusable item, but USPS is beyond my control. These records are vinyl and will endure more than the shellac 10" ones, but if broken be the case, I can refund or replace with a different one.

>Only accept PayPal.

Any & all questions or comments are welcome, I'll respond as soon as I can. Thanks for viewing!
Happy eBaying!
