We pack items very carefully (check feedback) and do not accept returns due to shipping damages.  If you'd like postal insurance, let us know before finalizing payment, and we'll add it to your invoice.  Insurance is not available for USPS First Class International, but is available for USPS Priority Mail International (for most countries).

We use brand-new shipping boxes and packing materials for added shipping protection for records.  There is a $2 handling fee for domestic shipping, to cover the cost of packaging.  For large orders, the handling fee may be increased.

MULTIPLE-LISTINGS BUYERS:  We will patiently wait for up to two weeks while you shop.  Just let us know you are considering multiple items, then immediately inform us when you are ready for an invoice with exact shipping expenses, insurance, and/or signature confirmation, if so desired.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  Please be aware we ship by USPS First Class International only, unless your order exceeds four pounds in weight, in which case we have no other option that to ship by USPS Priority Mail International.  Records are not eligible for eBay's Global Shipping Program, so please let us know before purchasing an item that is not a record, so we can remove the GSP from that listing, otherwise we won't be able to combine your order.  Contact us for further information.  Remember, customs and duties are not included in the shipping price.

FOR FUTHUR DETAILS, PLEASE READ OUR POLICIES BELOW, AND THANK YOU! 

DISQUE PATHE 14" 78 RPM VERTICAL CUT INSIDE START RECORD 86245, 86269

Both sides are Italian tenor ARISTODEMO GIORGINI singing opera arias, accompanied by the La Scala orchestra directed by Virgillo Ranzati.  Recorded by Pathe in Milan, 1912.  There's a question mark after the year in two discographies.  I'll use the exact names of the operas; the label has them in French, but the aria titles are in Italian, so they may be sung in Italian.

86245:  L'ELISIR D'AMORE (Donizetti):  "Una furtiva lacrima"

86269:  MARTHA (Flotow):  "M'appari tutto amor"

The first side has three light scratches, the second side has a light scuff.  I have no way to test for playability.  There is no sleeve. 

Domestic shipping for this item includes a $4 handling fee for an 18x18x7 inch box, and additional packing materials.

NOTE:  I DONT GRADE LABELS -- see pictures for that information.  I use the eBay record grading system when listing 78s, which is mostly based on visual observation of the wax, shellac, or vinyl.  KEEP IN MIND THAT ALMOST ALL OLD 78's HAVE SURFACE NOISE WHEN PLAYED ON MODERN EQUIPEMENT (except the extremely well-made records).  It's only distracting surface noise, as well as ticks, pops, clicks or jumps, that may affect grading.    

ALL THE RECORDS I LIST COME FROM ONE COLLECTION, THAT OF JAMES M. KENNEY OF NEW WINDSOR, MARYLAND.  HE WAS ONE OF THE EAST COAST'S LARGEST AUDIO AND ELECTRONICS COLLECTORS.
