Good record score today

I've only found 3 Americans "in the wild" and own about a dozen. I have well over 250 Fonotipias, the majority came from a 30,000 plus collection of discs I bought in Albany NY from the estate of a life long collector. I have found several locally, though, for example a few years ago I picked up an L-door XVI at auction which had an entire box full of them with it, which was a rather unexpected and pleasant surprise. There's a NYC area dealer who sets up at Wayne each time who always has a selection of these also, I suspect they're encountered more frequently in that area.

Yeah you've got me beat! I've never bought more than 1000 at a time, and am trying to reduce my total from 11,000. With that many to choose from, of course the strange and rare ones aren't so rare anymore...

I'm not sure I've ever seen an 11" record... you might find that the rarest, if not most interesting, of your lot!

Pathé had quite a number of odd sized records.

I went and pulled the record out of the box. It is indeed a Pathé record. I thought it was 11" but measures 10.5". It also states to be played at 80rpm.

Nice find! Sounds like about 400+!
I see your from the great state of West Virginia - possible some early country sides - let us know if you hit a Doc Boggs or the like!

We start in different areas of the market,
cross paths a few times and then meet up in the end which is ideal because i hate her.
