I have label images of one side of 3 Val Ernie issues (495-497) and will mail these.

Here are some fragments from the discussion:

The 2nd Baldwin label (from Starr ) is still extremely rare. It remains a label I had never found before.
The 2 images in ARLIE show:
B-496 - Guess (comp Alfred Feltman) by Val Ernie. Poss. this tune can be dated?
B-585 - St. Juste Zamor & Haitian Group: Ti Fi M'Pale.... (mx 1008).
Mal, can you date this release?

I have three Baldwin labels in my label collection (mostly gleaned from 
ePay over the years: B-495, B-497 & B-505). The first two are by Val 
Ernie and 505 is by Helen Cavanaugh. All three have double eccentric 
rings after the runout, closest to the labels. I don't think Gennett 
ever used double eccentrics, but I'm not sure. Then again they could 
have been recorded and mastered by one company and pressed by Gennett. 
I dunno.

There was for sure a Val Ernie Orchestra in Florida from around 1930 into at 
least the late 40s.
The composer of the song on the label wrote other songs,  one published at 
least as far back as 1907,  and was associated with a famous family of Coney 
Island developers and restaurant owners.
