The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Why does the seller insist on calling it a shroud? It's NOT a shroud, it's a face. A shroud is a CLOTH covering.

I don't see a cloth covering.
I see a face.

For the record, this is a SHROUD:



This is a FACE:



This is a shroud WITH a face:



Somebody better clue this seller in!

I see quarter-sawn oak grain with a pattern that resembles Gabby Hayes and I believe it and I will fight and lay down and kick and hold my breath til I turn blue and throw lightning bolts and make you insecure about the afterlife if someone doesn't agree with me.

I see the bottom of an oak record cabinet and a couple of door pulls. I guess I have no imagination...

Don't provoke me, Bruce.

Reading Ortho_Fan's post for some reason makes me picture Daffy Duck pronouncing 'shroud'. Stand back!

OK, I think I see the face now
