The shellac retains an outstanding, deep original gloss with beautifully crisp playing grooves. Please note: There is a very small, minor flake/chip on the outer edge of one side.

The center hole shows minimal spindle wear, and the gold scroll labels are clean, intact, and fully legible with zero tearing.The Sleeve: Included is a stunning, highly collectible 1920s Vocalion Records "Old Southern Tunes" company sleeve. The sleeve shows expected light age tanning and minor edge wear but remains completely intact with gorgeous, crisp vintage graphics.(Note to buyers: This record has been kept safely in a smoke-free environment and has NOT been subjected to any modern chemical or alcohol-based cleaners to protect the integrity of the vintage shellac.
