RARE!!! Why? Sure 10" and 12" shellac's are still reasonably accessible, 8" are very hard to find

Not your American or European material but Australian home grown talent

 

1930's Australiana 8 inch children's nursery songs and a story

For the collector, suits use with the old phonograph players such as the Edison, Rexonolas, HMV etc

These are NOT vinyl records, before vinyl these were made from a shellac compound.

They are extremely brittle, DO NOT BEND THEM!

Every single record has been carefully checked for warping, cracks and chips. Unless mentioned specifically you can assume the records offered are:

a) straight/flat

b) no cracks

c) no chips

d) no severe scratches/gouges!

8 inch diameter

Next to impossible to find 8 inch record sleeves these days so these are packed/protected in thick plastic custom made sleeves, open at one end.

These 8 inch records are offered individually or buy all of them - let me know and I will offer a discount.

Due to the extreme brittleness of the substrate, these will be very carefully packed/protected if they are to be sent out to the new owner

Condition exactly as described Non-returnable used product
