[78-L] Pressed in WHAT material...

[Martha]

"teens threw me off  ...   Marconi discs were made in 1907 (into 1908?)  and 
were black, I believe. The surface might have been the same material 
Columbia used on their laminated records, but applied to a paper base.  I 
have a few double-faced pressings, made for a Spanish-speaking market.
