$

164

Up for auction is a rare one-sided E. Berliner's Gramophone Record from the 1890s--

# 3635 - "Hear Dem Bells" cornet duo by Mr. Knoll & Miss McNeil

Undated - possibly from 1895, but definitely pre-1899 (which has a '0' prefix)

Cursive Script/ Hand-written style etching just above the record hole "Mr Knoll & Miss McNeil"
----
Condition:
I have listened to record and it plays through fine without skipping or with major defects. As with most Berliner's - there is obviously some surface noise.
As with most Berliner's from the 1890s, this one shows small scratches, scuffing, handling and some groove wear. There are some 'dimples' and some minute divots in the grooves. Again, this is all pretty standard wear for these records.

I have been a collector for many years now and have carefully cleaned all of the discs to the best of my ability, however---you may choose to give it another cleaning -- as a record of this vintage may need it. Please see photos for more detail.

-----
German-American inventor Emile Berliner invented the first circular, non-cylinder, playing discs with recorded sound in the late 1880s. These black, circular platter-like discs are more commonly known as records.
By 1895 he had financing available for the E. Berliner's Gramophone Company, which produced the discs from 1895-1899.
These historic recordings, which are now over 115-years old or near that-- are considered extremely rare, with some being one-of-a-kind recordings due to the ways in which they were primitively recorded and duplicated.
