[78-L] What's the oldest autographed 78 in you collection?

[Cary Ginell]

Do you mean the date of the record or the date of the autograph?

The oldest one I have is a Lonnie Johnson /Eddie Lang duet on OKeh 8695 ("Bullfrog Moan"/"Handful of Riffs"), recorded in May 1929. The78 was autographed by Johnson in white ink, and dated 1948. I have autographed 78s by a number of other artists, including Lionel Hampton, the Andrews Sisters, and Jack Teagarden, but they are not dated.
