About 3 years ago I found an E condition copy of his ZIGEUNENWEISER on
a mint HMV disc (mid-30s pressing with 'imported by Radio Corporation
of America' stickers on the label) for $1.  At the same time I found a
V++ copy of 'Mood indigo' b/w 'Petty's little polka' by the Norman
Petty Trio on X 0040 also for $1.  (Yes, he who shortly afterward
would have a skinny kid from Lubbock, Texas called Buddy Holley come
his way and make them both very famous.)
