Hi Guys!
I have several of these old Zon-o-Phone records but none of mine have white lettering or designs like this one I found for sale on eBat. My guess is that someone finished touching-up the white lettering on their tires and decided to experiment with antique records. Anyone know for sure?

Quite probably somebody pencilled it up. It may be even more or less contemporary with the record, just to increase readability. But I don't think it's original.

Most of my Zonophones have this white lettering, I'm relatively certain this isn't dressed up, but original. I'd imagine years of being stacked and scraped against other discs would have worn the paint off a number of them though.
