Homokord [Hits: 28161] Discuss on forum [0]The gramophone records Homokord (after 1923 some labels say also Homocord) were manufactured by German company Homophon Company GmbH established in 1905. The company headquarters was located at Alexandrienstrasse in the part of city of Berlin known as Kreuzberg.
In the beginning they supposed, that Homokord will be able to establish itself on the Russian market, they even planned to open a branch in the Polish city ofKalisz. However, ill choices of artists and inadequate requirements to the artistic quality of the recordings had resulted in graduate reduction of this company business in Russia. The latest Russian Homokord recordings are dated by 1910, after that date all matrixes with Russian repertoire were sold to the gramophone company «Stella Record».
On Homokord acoustic matrices present encrypted recording date. The code is interpreted as follows: the first letter of the code is the encrypted month (January = A, December = M), then follows the day of recording, and finally the last letter indicates the year of recording in reverse alphabetical order, starting from the letter V, that is the year of the founding of the company (1905) and ending with the letter A (1925). For example, H21S stands for 21-08-1908. In the last year of acoustic recording (1926) they used the letter W. For electric recording they started to use different encoding system.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

US Domestic Shipping:
Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:
Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)
1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$
2 records: 5.75$
5 records: 7.50$
10 records: 9.50$
MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.
