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 "Washington Post March," and it's performed by Sousa's Band. Record no. is 140w, indicating it was manufactured in either 1895 or 1896. 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's surprisingly nice, with a 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 on the Victor P I listed last week, and it sounds exceptionally good for any early acoustic record, all the more so for a Berliner title. Very dynamic, with minimal backgroud noise. You will not be disappointed.
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.
