Tyrone,
  Thanks for these listings. I did check 78discography, but did not find the
label listed - are they pending update?
  Sterling also issued the penultimate Irving Kaufman recordings "Moe the
Schmo" - here is what I've gleaned from
worldcat; some seem mangled from Rigler Deutsche:

5002   Moe the Schmo makes love
5002   Moe the Schmo takes a rhumba lesson

5003A  Moe The Schmo Plays Golf
    B          Schmo takes a rest

5004A  Nat The Rat
5004B  Gay Vec, Cherie, Gay Vec

other titles, issue number not known:
  Schmo Takes In A Boarder
  Moe The Schmo Gets Romantic
  Moe THe Schmo  Activity

Best wishes, Thomas.

Well....

I don't actually hope to collect data on everything, but I do collect data
on anything I run across, and what people are kind enough to send to me.
Just in case it is of interest to anyone, this is what I have collected on
the 1940s New York Sterling label.  (Would be happy to add to it, not to
mention the British and Canadian Sterling label.)
