Description

ULTRA RARE AND COLLECTIBLE!
As the story goes, The Aiken County String Band was a short-lived quartet that recorded only 6 songs for Okeh, put on 3 10" shellac by Okeh.. The group featured the banjo-picking comic DeWitt "Snuffy" Jenkins and the fiddler Homer "Pappy" Sherill.  Here are their three singles:
Carolina Stompdown: Okeh 45153 - produced in 1927 High Sheriff / Charleston Rag: Okeh 45219 - produced in 1928 Harrisburg Itch / Savannah River Stride: Okeh 45294 - produced in 1929
This is the second one.  The shellac LOOKS QUITE PLAYABLE, with some light visible scratches over a mostly clean surface, I'll grade VG++.  My grade here is specific to a nearly 100 year-old shellac surface; I would grade a 1960s vinyl with a similar number of light visible scratches over a clean surface a VG+. 
Will package very securely sandwiched in cardboard in an oversized box with plenty of padding.
