Need a copy of ‘She Sells Seashells By The Seashore’ or other ocean/shell-related record to complement this conch shell horn. What others are there?

When I see an Oyster Walk Upstairs
A noise annoys an oyster
The 1918 Shelling record from HMV.
The Conch..inciuos objector (Alfred Lester) circa 1916
Cockles and Muscles (alive alive OH!)
Selections from the 1915 London show Shell Out

The only version of She Sells Sea Shells I know is by Willkie Bard on Zonophone
Billy Murray mentions the phrase on the Diamond Disc of Sister Susie's Sewing Shirts.

Thank you for that list. I thought that I’ve seen ‘She Sells’ by Billy Murray on a Victor black batwing, but I may be mistaken.

I suppose you could also go with the "Laughing Song" aka "Oysters and Wine at 2 AM".

That's a beautiful combination!

Kind of far away, but here it is........

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Probably should qualify that I’m looking for something pre-electric and American.
