Sold: Reproduction 5" Berliner #458

Post by donniej »

Thanks to the generous loan from a fellow collector, we now have the chance to own a copy of one of the earliest discs. Not only is it super-clean, it's also a snappy Prussian march... "Hohenfriedberger Marsch". A video showing the original and a copy is below.

The original was hard rubber, I'm offering them in a similar material to the original and my "shellac compatible" resin. The backs are unfinished and may have tooling marks, they also have a copy of the original label with song title.

10 "hard rubber" (like Blue Amberol material) and 5 shellac compatible discs are available. They are only available at this price because generous people are willing to loan me their discs, and I make no money off this endeavor. If you appreciate it, please spread the word of my work and help me find additional rare discs to make available!

PS. I have owed discs to a few of you and they have now all shipped or will ship this week. Thank you everyone for your patience.

I would like one, and as long as I'm buying, do you have a list up here anywhere of what other 7" discs you have left?

I'll take either the hard rubber or shellac. Whichever you have left.
