Description

Durium records were released between 1930-1932. They are a cheap alternative to shellac records during the depression when folks could not afford food, never mind records! Thes records were sold weekly from the news stand with the latest songs. They were usually 10" records but the variation on this theme "Durium Junior" reduced the price from 15 cents to 5 cents. 
This example is from the first series. In great shape but does have a very slight lamination stress crack starting but will not affect play. But I do not suggest you PLAY this record! Just keep it as an artifact. 
Learn more about the history of these records through the excellent discography ny Hans Koert.
