The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A lifetime collection representing 40+ years of 78 collecting has recently been brought back from Pittsburgh to the NYC area. The collection consists of both postwar and prewar discs, with a particular love for the blues and R&B. There's also country, gospel, jazz, pop of all eras and really a bit of everything, including some Diamond Discs.

Additionally, there are about 750 cylinders that we are hoping to sell as a lot.

More information on the attached flyer.

Who was the collector? Just curious, as I'm from Pittsburgh.
Send PM if it is private

We are probably about half-way through sorting the collection and we are even finding doubles and triples of some discs. My business partner found 4 copies of Georgia Tom & Tampa Red's Vocalion #1216 (in varying conditions).

Will keep all interested people / parties updated as we get close to finishing the sorting process.

Thanks!

Also wanted to mention that we will be at the Wayne Mechanical Music show on Sunday, October 8 plus the pre-show in the parking lot the day before.

We will be at the Wayne Mechanical Music show on Sunday, October 8 plus the pre-show in the parking lot the day before. After the show, we will be available for private sales of the remaining 78s. The storage unit housing the 78s is located in Jersey City, NJ.

See you Saturday!

Would you happen to have a copy or 2 of Harry Richman 'Puttin on the Ritz' on Brunswick label?

We are opening up the collection for private sales if anyone wants to travel to Jersey City (and who has not perused and/or purchased while we were at the Wayne, NJ show)!!!
