Pretty cool pic. Can anyone see what kind of record is on display?

I see a Columbia Graphophone with spearpoint wooden horn, and a girl in 1950s clothes who really appears to wish she was outside and not there.

The record appears to be an HMV or Victor disc because I see two blobs where Nipper and the gramophone would go.

The photo looks more early to mid-1960s than 50s.

I looked over all of the hundreds and hundreds of labels on this site--all decades/all regions-- http://www.tedstaunton.com/site_map/site_map.html and found a few near matches, in terms of design, but found nothing exactly like it -- wide dark outer rim, light center with dark half-circle above & touching the spindle hole.

The Graphophone looks to be a BII or 60H: the records may be HMV, but I am not certain.

I’ve owned records that have label masks pasted over the actual label advertising an appearance by an artist at a club. I am certain that these were sold at the performances as the label masks are usually autographed.
