Description
Antique 17-Page VICTOR 'His Masters Voice' Record Binder, With 17 Shellac 78 RPM 12" Records.
This antique Victor "His Master's Voice" cloth-covered burgundy record binder seems a little odd with its 17 pages, and it is. It's designed to hold 17 large 12" shellac '78' records. Included are 17 mostly-antique large 12" shellac records (many are quite rare). A couple of the records are antique one-sided shellacs. Records span from the 1900s to the early 1920s, and are of the "78" variety and typically hold just one single song per side.
These specialized cloth-covered binders were stamped with a different letter on the spine. This was done so that record collectors could write the matching letter onto each record that belonged to that particular binder (this worked well when multiple binders were owned). A number could also be added (say H-8) and so it would be clear that disc belonged to binder "H" and to page "8" for example.
Included are these records from the 1900s-1920s:
