[78-L] record cabinet?

[Erwin Kluwer]

Hi,

I have actually quite a lot of pre 1906 sleeves;


1902 G&T celebrity sleeves of the early Caruso/Battistini/ Tamgano/Marconi
records. (picture/title, etc)

1902 and 1903 Zonopgone sleeves with artist and title

Berliner sleeves with artists and titles... etc, etc
