Description

ULTRA RARE AUDIO READING OF WINNIE THE POOH!  The most familiar reader of Winnie the Pooh was Sterling Holloway.  I can't find anything about Craig McDonnell other than a few different voice readings, including two other Bluebird records on Bertram and his Circus Elephant & Bertram and the Hippopotamus, and in the role of Dinty Moore on Bringing Up Father.  In the Wikipedia entry of Bringing Up Father, Craig was listed as, "Craig McDonnell (1907–1956)" which I assume were his years of birth and death.  
I was able to find single individual listings of 2 of the 3 discs, but not all three as part of a single listing.  I don't know if these were marketed in an album - mine were found in a 4-sleeve generic album which will be conveyed with the sale.  The records are labelled, BC 7-1 to 7-6 for six sides, and also with numbers 506, 507, and 508 for the three records.  All individual cuts are part of the overall title, Winnie the Pooh Goes Visiting, with individual cuts titled, for example, If I Were a King, Three Cheers for Pooh, and others.  
I would grade these in the VG to VG+ range, perhaps conservatively as clean grooves can be seen in all the records, but amidst scratches and scuffs typical of 78 RPMs from the 1940s.  No chips or cracks.  They will be packaged carefully, with individual records sandwiched between oversized cardboard and mailed in a 14" by 14" by 4" box.
