Canadian Berliner Record Box

Post by gramophone78 »

Here is something you don't see every day. This early pasteboard Canadian record box held one dozen 7" discs. Based on the label, I assume it was used to transport new records to the retail store and would have contained twelve copy's of the same pressing.

I am aware of one other that is black with the same label. Anyone know of others.....I would appreciate hearing from you.
Both examples show with a blank label.

Very nice! I have never seen anything like this for 7" records. Thanks for sharing.

I hadn’t seen one, but please give me a heads up if you ever decide to sell it. St. Catherine Street has a colorful reputation.
