[78-L] Quality & Reo - Canadian labels

The sole 78rpm issue I could locate is a South African pressing on 
Renown 5232, which sold for $50 USD in 2015. Seems the seller, in the 
Netherlands, thought this was the only 78rpm issue of the tune. I'm not 
quite sure of the issue number as the photo is small and very blurry, 
especially on enlargement.
Here's a link:

I'll have to see if this sale shows up elsewhere so I can at least grab 
a good pic.
