This will depend on exactly what your picture shows...and in how
much detail. The Cameo should have the matrix and take in its
"run-out" area (between the playing groove and the label); it
will show 9322 (or 19322) followed by a dash followed by the
take number. If the image is either too small or poorly focused,
this may not be legible?

Sadly, the Abrams-file CAMEO.TXT does NOT include any of
the 1928-1930 year-numbered Cameo issues.
