FOR SALE: REDUCED Wilcox-Gay Recordio Home Recordings $12

Post by outune »

I've been going through some boxes of "stuff"-- Here are seven (7) old home recordings-- 6 Wilcox-Gay Recordio and one Philco Safety Record. Wilcox-Gay was in Charlotte, MI .

I listened to them on an old Califone electric player-- All are 78 rpm and are surprisingly clear. All are two-sided, so you get 14 sides of Diana and Henry and others singing, telling a few stories and laughing---ALOT. Diana actually has a pretty decent voice-- I think these are likely from the 1940's--

On one of the records, the guy asks- "How do you like the record machine?"-- And he talks about the Wilcox-Gay company being in Michigan--and the machine costing them $189. That's around $3,121 in today's money if the online inflation calculator is correct!!

The couple who do most of the talking are obviously Northerners-- The accents (especially Diana) are pretty heavy. There is also a family "quartette" that sings a little. At one point in a song they sing to the Duchesne family-- Pretty sure that's what they said, but could be something else similar.

Anyway- Fun stuff--Obviously the individuals enjoy life- On one they are laughing a lot and Diana says-- "We haven't had a drink" and continues laughing.
Original box is a bit flattened, but the graphics are fine.

$12 including Media Mail shipping in US. Feel free to ask questions-
Thanks-

Hi. Thanks for asking. After no interest several.months ago, I put them in a pile that was donated to a thrift shop. I apologize for not updating the post.
