There I found a collection of about 1000 78s and I picked up about 150 of them, including 10 pre-1910 Columbia labels and a dozen or so 12" Blue Note and subsidiary Climax label records.  Also, lots of labels I've never seen before.  Picked up a couple Japanese records, too.  Got Paul Whiteman playing the theme from Gone With The Wind (made in Japan) plus another in Japanese, AND a bunch of 49th STATE Hawaiian labels with original sleeves.  I'll post pictures of the most interesting labels in a day or so.

Kind of tough finding a discography for these, apparenetly they were reissued a couple times as 78s and LPs up into the 1970s.  As I understand it, some were reissued as 78s in the 1960s??  The records I got are all 12" dia have a V-??? number with an additional 3 didgit number at the top of the label.  I'm sure they are vinyl.  These could be the late reissues??
