Wow, I wish that had been an auction! The buyer got an amazing bargain. Hot record as well as the scarce mailer sleeve.

Re: DUOPHONE 78 in posting sleeve
I have two of these sleeves - coming with many and various record collections I bought ages ago and only just sorting through. (Cataloguing them isn't really my thing but around 1,500 records done so far). Lock-down gives me lots of time of course.
The one I am looking at has one less stamp and refers to the enclosed record being number 74, so maybe created earlier. Maybe the record it contained is around ? The other sleeve must be in a heap yet to be sorted in what I call "the gramophone room" but is presently really just a mess. Getting better though. They are made from fantastic quality cardboard.

Re: DUOPHONE 78 in posting sleeve
Duophone was not the only company to use a thick cardboard circular cover. Here is one from Ogden Smith, who commenced business in 1793 and were at one time believed to be the oldest fishing tackle retailers in Britain.
Unlike the Duophone cover, Ogden Smith's was not intended for postage. Storage must have been interesting, with the constant risk of records rolling from the shelves.

Very interesting.
I wonder what the one Guinea "encora" disc machine looked like ?

Probably something like these bottom of the range machines in Thorens 1910 catalogue.poodling around wrote:epigramophone wrote:Duophone was not the only company to use a thick cardboard circular cover.

At the other end of the market, one Guinea bought about four and a half minutes of Nellie Melba.

Which in my experience, is more than you can get for her records now! I've got a load of her recordings, and a huge pile of other classical vocal in excellent condition, which were offered on the most popular auction site at a pound each, but no takers.epigramophone wrote:

Re: DUOPHONE 78 in posting sleeve
"UNBREAKABLE RECORD" and "FRAGILE" written on the sleeve.
No contradiction there at all.
