Legendary collector/dealer Jim Hadfield had one..Frank Crumit's "Gum Tree 
Canoe". He finally got what he believed to be the only known copy. I've 
certainly never seen it anywhere else or on anyone's auction list.

And he let me borrow it to transfer for a CD issue!

I am just not very knowledgeable on rarities and am not particularly attached to anything I have. Be more than happy to put records up on Ebay if I know someone here really wants it. I have many thousands now with a great many not so common ones listed as pic files on my computer.
