I would say they are certainly not common. This is the only one I have come across in my years of collecting. I have one other Collector Friend who also has one.

There is one album that stands out, it is labeled as a demonstration record, it is 2 sided and I would think some what rare. I would assume it is the record the dealer used for selling the Pathe phonograph. I am just looking for info on the record and if these are really that rare or just a good decoration. Thanks in advance.
