[78-L] Fonotipia records pressed in USA

[Roger Wade]

Many thanks to David Lennick, Sean Miller and Malcolm Rockwell for your help. 

The matrices on this record date from 1922 according to a Puccini discography I found online, so this must be an Okeh pressing.

The label is light blue with gold and blue print.  The artist's name, Giacomo Lauri-Volpi, is hand written across the label below the center hole.
