Hi again Folks

A number of you have emailed me expressing interest in these Recordings.

#644-- dificult reading best guess is "Prarie Sale" or Praise Tale ? M1/26/96 PTD. date '95

These Recordings were purchased on Cape Cod as One Lot around 1992, the very next lot was a handwind Berliner that was not complete.
This fact may have lead to them having been hardly played.
Perhaps best thing to do w/be to inquire condition& request images.
I'll take images this Evening>
If enough people request, I'll just post images here.

And even though there appears to be a double posting on this topic, in the interests of completeness, "a PM has been sent" (though sorry for the passive voice.)

All my very best wishes!

Please post pictures and prices or how much for the lot. And

Berliner #644 is "Piano Sale" by George Graham, #125X is "Stephanie - Gavotte" by "band" (anonymous?), and I believe #1615 is "Jane" by George J Gaskin.

How much for the lot?

Hi all
At this moment, offers for the whole lot as well as Individuals have been coming in.
If anyone is interested, forward me a Bid.
The condition of this time capsule lot is indeed exceptional.
There are 3 recordings that are thinner & lighter, 1665 appears to be of a different composition perhaps gutta percha.
At least 7 Titles have been cited in Charosh as having been witnessed, yet they are exceedingly rare in world collections
I will be making a decision
shortly
