[78-L] Fwd: A Little Highbrow-"Microphonies" & Stooges "78"

[victrola78s at aol.com]

Did you notice in the closeup of the phonograph before the guy pulls 
the plug it shows an acoustic Columbia 78 playing? Sure looks like a 
blue label Columbia with the banner across the spindle hole & the gold 
lettering to me, circa early 1920s.    
    
On the Audiokarma list there was a guy who had an Admiral radio 
phonograph( or, radiogram) in which the operator's manual for the 
turntable clearly shows one of these acoustic blue label Columbia 78s 
on the changer's stack of records. Don't know of any connection between 
Admiral in the late 1940s & Columbia in the early 1920s. Only 78ers 
with "roving shellac eye" pick up on these things!
