The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have 15 popular Pathé sapphire vertical cut records, in condition ranging from pretty worn to shiny, for which I'm asking $20 plus actual shipping (to be determined). Three, none in pristine condition, are etched label center start discs; otherwise, all are paper label conventional outside start. None are cracked, as far as I can see, although one of the center starts has what appears to be some pretty stout scuffing on one side. Artists include the likes of small vocal ensembles (for instance, "The Invincible Four," the "Peerless Quartet"), various solo singers (Sam Ash, Byron G. Harlan, etc.), a band or so, a French vaudeville-type duo, assorted "orchestras" (house and other ensembles), and so on. No "hot" fox trots, although there's at least two "for dancing" (one step or two step); no opera; no Uncle Josh (but included is Golden and Marlowe in one of those minstrel comedy sketch type things). Most are the 11.25" size, but three or four are more like 10". No sleeves.

In short, a starter collection, not a treasure trove of rarities. As usual, first to post SOLD get 'em.

In response to more than one request:

Last call before they go take their chances at Value Village. Please note that the outside start discs are, on average, in better shape than the center starts.
