Always finding something new - this time a small collection of Japanese 78s yielded 2 early Victor Record labels I've not seen before. I'm thinking they are from 1908-1909. They are both one sided with one having a blank back with conditions printed around the bottom of the label, the other has a conditions sticker on the back dated 1908 with no conditions printed on the label. trying to find out more about them, but not much available. Any info on these? There were 3 with conditions and 1 without. The one without has a significant crack but still plays OK. The other 3 play well though not much volume.

Another interesting record from this collection is a red label Victrola with Japanese classical singing like opera, I think. (please forgive my ignorance of this music genre)

I ended up recording all these records and posted them to my YouTube channel - VintageJapaneseMusic
