Description
Last year I purchased an Edison record player from an Estate and along with the player was a slew of records. The machine had been in the family since it was purchased new and had very little wear. Amazingly the records that accompanied it were excellent with little or no show of wear. i.e.: no scratches or blemishes. I think that the sleeves or covers are original to the records? The last pat. date on the sleeves are 1918 so I assume they were produced after that date. The sleeves also state: "Edison Re-Creation (Record)". I assume this means that the sounds have be reproduced on the record. I have not played them, not wanting to injure them in any way. The covers are NOT pristine and do show varying degrees of wear from storage. The following is a list of the five records that are included in this group: There are 3 groups of numbers on each record; Index #; Tune # (?); and a # that is scratched by hand into the wax just below the Index #. I include only the index #.
