Thanks.
A zero at front indicates a 12" record in an otherwise 10" series.
I have an image of Voc 013018 (12"), price US $1.25 / Canada $1.50,
while adjacent 10" issues are 75c.
So 013018 has to be the second "zero" in this series.

With 67139-182 Jewish, what is in this series before 67139?
I have never seen a 75000 series issue.

The range 14268-14794 is not clear to me. This is in the main popular series
(see Ty's ODP) including a few Lebedeffs.

Spottswood's book lists Jewish recordings from (VERY approximately) page 1200 
to page 1550 (I said it was very approximate), so Vocalion numbers in that area 
are in the 13000 and 14000 series, with a few isolated exceptions. 013001 (this 
seems to be the only one with a zero at the front) and 13002 through 13060 are 
all in this section, and many of the numbers between 14268 and 14794 are 
Jewish. Of those shown in the numerical index in Spottswood Vol. 7, maybe 25% 
in this series are other languages, and there are large gaps (for example 
between 14322 and 14332) that I guess aren't ethnic at all since they're not 
listed.

And 67139 through 67182 (no gaps) and 75010/12 are Jewish.
