Description

Here's an unusual item: a cardboard shop counter display for Hit Of The Week phonograph needles, never used and completely intact with all of the original packets stapled to the front. Evidently put aside and forgotten about for close to 90 years, it is in fine condition with some discoloration (see photos.) The fine print on the needle packets gives a copyright date of 1929. A must-have for HOTW completists!
Item will be packed in a new, heavy cardboard box with stiffeners, bubble wrap and packing peanuts. This cost is reflected in the P&P charges. Combined shipping offered for multiple auction wins.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Please disregard the flat-rate P&P cost mandated by eBay; this is incorrect. We are happy to ship internationally at cost which will be invoiced following the close of the auction. We have a long track record of shipping 78's internationally with no breakages; however, please be advised that insurance and tracking are available at your discretion and that we cannot be held accountable for lost or damaged parcels unless they have been insured.
I use the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E. Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P. Unplayable.
