The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Alrighty! I do need to do more research haha. Thanks for the good info

Personally, I've always felt that if I like something and collect it, it's collectable. It's not like there's some Grand Council that decides what you can collect.

Sure there is. Ask them!

Can I post some pictures of some of my "rarer" records?

Id would like to know if they are indeed "rare" records haha.

Go for it!

Here is some of them! I didnt bother taking down the harmony, oriole, banner, cameo, velvet tone, regal, etc records haha. hopefully the labels are clear enough? I can take more pictures if needed.

Those swirled Pathé records are really gorgeous!

Interesting stash. Several of those labels are vertical brands, or vertical brands that are / turned lateral, like Grey Gull. The splatter Pathé's are lateral type.

The swirled Pathés ARE nice... somewhat hard to find in good condition. You also have several records with Carson Robison on them, here's his story: http://nashvillesongwritersfoundation.c ... ry_id=4117

Clover, Q.R.S., Starr and Operaphone are not so common labels...

I tried to listen to the Starr and Gennett labels on my electric record player and i couldnt hear a thing..... it was just scratch.. are they vertical records?
