[78-L] Scranton Sirens

[Ron L'Herault]

Somehow reminds me of the Regal label.

While I had the Scranton Sirens disc, I scanned the label, but  
unfortunately, I didn't get a clear shot of the entire disc or the  
runout area before returning it to the owner. I may e-mail him to ask  
if he can photograph the entire disc. It seemed quite nondescript to  
me. I recall that the matrix numbers were handwritten in the runout  
and there was no "lead-out" groove at the end of the side. In the  
meantime, here's a scan of the label:

On the second image, the B-side, you can see the handwritten matrix  
number in the runout. Just to the right of the label, at approximately  
3 o'clock (no pun intended!), you can faintly see a little "ND" that  
may offer a clue. I know I've seen that ND on other pressings of the  
early 1920s. Any thoughts?
