Record question--Vulcan record company Childrens Operettas

Post by yankmycrank »

Have been going through the online issues of The Talking Machine World (thanks, Sean!) and came across a fascinating listing: a 1923 set of three 10" records, in a special color fold-out album, of "Little Red Riding Hood". This was evidently a commissioned work for children, and pressed on some sort of "unbreakable" record. Has anyone ever seen this set, or was it a 1920s version of vaporware?

Yes,I have this.I found the "Little Red Riding Hood"Vulcan set at a local flea market for $5.A great find.One of the records has lamination ripples.Still,it was a bargain.The woman I bought it from said it was her mother's when she was a little girl.edisonplayer

I have one disc of a set on an ornate "Junior Operettas" label which is probably the same set. I'm not able to get to it right now but I'll try to post it next week. As noted, by another poster, it is laminated and definitely has lam issues but is playable.
