[78-L] Jacob S. Schneider

[oldsound2002]

Yes, I recall being given a newspaper clipping around 1970, from the Daily News, IIRC -- an article with a photo of Schneider sitting in his warehouse, among piles of his discs.  The article mentioned that Tiny Tim was one of his regular customers.  Unfortunately I no longer have the clipping.  Evidently quite a character.  What ever became of him and his collection?

Hi Steve,

Two recent remarks by you and David Lennick regarding your vast 
collections, reminded me of someone named Jacob S. Schneider, who had 
(in 1957) 450,000 jazz and popular records from 1888 to 1943.

Did anyone ever heard of him ?
