I have 2 or 3 (at least) of these...but NO idea where (long story?!). All 
that
I have seen are private recordings, usually of people/groups in north-
eastern Ohio per the credits. I have always felt these relate to "The
Electric Recording Company" of 1924-25, which also cut a lot of
"private" records...?!
