I just won one of these tonight too. According to the listing they were a salesmen sample, & were given to dealers.
Do you know if this is true?

I don't know exactly what they were for. From listening to the record I assume it may have been a give away to the public. But you might be correct as well. I bought this a few years ago at the Union phonograph show. So, I don't really know much about it's origins.
