For sale is a lot of seven antique records from my father's estates.  They are 10" in diameter (78 RPM I think).  I have no idea how well they play; Their general condition varies from what looks pretty good to me, to pretty worn and scratched. I gave my best subjective description on each below, but I have no idea if this is accurate as I am not a record collector. Sold as-is. If you are wondering about any specifics on condition, feel free to ask and I'll send detailed photos and answer your specific questions the best I can. Comes with an antique record album that holds 10 records in thick paper sleeves.  Two of the record have what appear to be a piece of original protection or cover (just one piece of paper, not an envelope), that are very tattered on the edges.
