I believe these records(little Berliner 7") are very valuable.
Take a look.

That was a great sale Nailbite. However, what you did not mention was most of the Berliner records you sold only went from 75.00 - 200.00 each. Only a few handful of titles will do much more.....unless there are two guys that just have to have it. Too bad most of the records you listed have been punched (extra hole) to play on a Zonophone. To some, that will hurt the value. To others it won't.

Berliner machines were reproduced in some quantities in the 20's or 30's? Why? I could understand something made to celebrate a special occasion but machines like that would be made in such small numbers that they would be insignificant. Trademark Berliners were replicated in Japan in the 70's and one was available at the Orlando show for $1100 or so.
