Here's an early 16" Superman Transcription disc from Sound Studios of New York. I believe the programs date to 1939 or 1940. There are two programs, one on each side of the disc. The disc is dark maroon, somewhat translucent. Composition is vinyl, not shellac. Grooves appear to be in very good shape, but I can only grade them visually. I don't have a turntable large enough to accommodate the disc. The sleeve is complete and in reasonably good shape, with cracks at the edges, as you'd expect. Will be packed properly in a large box, sandwiched between layers of thick corrugate and hard foam to prevent damage.
Please review the pictures and consider them an integral part of the description.
Correction: the programs are 94 & 93, not 91 & 93.
