Happy New Year.

I would be interested to learn more about these as well.  I posted my 4" Durium at http://78rpmrecord.com/labelshow.cfm?whichLabel=409

Thanks.   Gary

P.S. I've been working a bit more on the 78 label scan pages at 78rpmrecord.com and invite you all to upload nice, clear scans.  Feel free to upload better scans of labels already posted, too.  These pages are a work-in-progress, of course.

We have just found this 4"  78 rpm disk, which we think was a giveaway with the magazine "The Gramophone" here in England, in 1932.  It is titled "Christmas Greetings from Compton Mackenzie and Christopher Stone" and made by Durium Products, Slough, England.  It seems to  be made on brown cardboard.

Mackenzie was a famous writer here, and I believe he started The Gramophone magazine with his brother in law, Christopher Stone.

Can you tell me any more about it, or is it rubbish?!  Best wishes,  Dorothea Conti
