 just acquired a bunch of Keen-O-Phone 78s--in all my years of collecting I've 
ever seen this label.

 Anyone know about it??

Vertical discs with Pathe-type sapphire ball groove.  According to 
utton & Nauck from 1912-1914 and then reorganized into Rex, which are 
ore common but still scarce.  Although Fred Hager was the musical 
irector for both Keen-O-Phone and Phono-Cut, according to the book the 
atter became the source for Starr Piano's first label Remington with no 
ie-in with Rex.  I remember George Blacker's frustration at trying to 
igure out the relationships among all these vertical labels with so 
ittle evidence to go by except for the rare instances of finding 
asters issued on two labels.  Is anyone now working on this project?
