The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I would like to determine the "take" dates of some vintage 78 records. These are primarily Victor and/or Columbia recordings from the 1900 through 1935 years. I know there are on line lists of many of these records by the number that is stamped on the record. I have reviewed some from the Library of Congress National Jukebox site, but at one time saw another and perhaps more comprehensive listing. However, I have not been able to find this on line listing or document again.

Would you assist me or point me to the correct site or Forum group? Thanks for your help.

Henry,

Thanks for the links to the record lists. It is quite helpful to me also.

This is a very useful site, but be aware that it is quite riddled with errors, so take it with a grain of salt.
