Hello and thanks for stopping by my auctions!

I have spot checked all discs here on my system, a transcription professional turntable using a KAB Souvenir equalizer and a 2.8 mil truncated elliptical stylus.  Please remember you may have different results on your equipment, depending on what you are playing these on.

Add me as a favorite seller, this is just the beginning of MORE great 78s coming soon as time permits, I've been thinning out my collection and will be offering lots of interesting discs in the future, including some very choice Edison Diamond Discs, cylinders and LOTS of other things as I begin clearing out shelves!

Offered today is Edison Diamond Disc 59009, two tunes by Per Bjorn: "Skjen Jomfru! Luk Dit Vindue Op" and "Der Staaer Et Slot I Vesterlied", first side is matrix 9631 - take B and the second side is matrix 9632 - take C.  This is from the very scarce Danish series of Edisons that seems to have only lasted a few issues.  Both sides were recorded on New York City on July 2, 1924.  The disc itself has the Edison "red star" on each label.  Label side R has a tiny tear at the very bottom, L-side is free of any defects.  It grades a solid E to E+ and is about as nice as you'd want this scarce disc to be!

Shipping is $4 in the USA for up to three 78s, add 50 cents for each additional disc over three.  International postage is higher and at cost to the buyer.  Insurance is totally optional for the buyer, I pack well and have never had a disc arrive damaged, but the PO isn't always gentle!  I have been collecting and selling 78s for over 20 years now, so you have no worries about poor packing here.  Please DO check my feedback and bid with confidence!  Now for a word about feedback, PLEASE contact me if you have any issues with your purchases, I promise your satisfaction, period.  As always, thank you for looking and GOOD LUCK!!!

Record Grading Chart:

N- (or NM or M-): Store Stock NEW (a rare grade to use!)

E+: Looks almost new, maybe a tiny paper scratch from sleeve, never any wear; a choice copy

E: Excellent. Perhaps a light scuff or scratch but never anything serious. Still no wear.

E-: Still excellent, but maybe one or two more traces of above use and perhaps a couple more light scratches.

V+: Obvious use and maybe a bit of wear, still a decent copy, but was enjoyed by the prior owner(s). Maybe gray grooves, but they should be noted.

V: As above, but wear noticeable, scratches and scuffing should be expected to affect play.

V-: Noise and wear, scratches etc will be almost as loud as the music, won't look pretty.

F or P: Wiped out, period, may not be playable.
