For your consideration is a rare vintage 10 inch Edison diamond disc entitled Varsovienne. This record was one in a short series of special pressing records made for Henry Ford and was borne out of Ford and Edison's shared interest in preserving / reviving old time music in the face of the increasing popularity of Jazz, and out of being friends and neighbors in Florida. These discs were intended for Ford's old time dance associations and were made in very small numbers. Edison made sure to use the highest quality condensite possible for these special discs and the recording quality and playing surfaces are excellent for late acoustic discs. A very desirable part of the Edison catalogue.
I recently purchased a large collection of Edison Diamond Discs and will be listing many hundreds of them here on eBay, in order of the catalogue number and with many including originally sleeves, so stay tuned!
All of our old shellac and vinyl 78 records are packed with utmost care and precaution so as to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition in which they were shipped out. I have extensive experience shipping 78s. For an in depth explanation of my shipping methods, see the bottom of this page. All items will be shipped within 3 days of purchase. All good faith offers thoroughly considered.
Keep in mind that for the highest fidelity reproduction results, a correct sized, well maintained stylus should always be used and antique records should also always receive a deep cleaning with a stiff bristled brush and a non-alcohol based soap. I do not provide grading beyond what is required by eBay. If the photographs prove insufficient, do not hesitate to reach out with a question, as well as any other type of inquiry related to an item.
All 78 rpm records, vinyl or shellac, will be shipped sandwiched between either thick cardboard or some spare 78 rpm discs to provide substantial reinforcement for uneven pressure placed on a package during shipment. The record sandwich is then suspended in packing peanuts on all sides. Packing peanuts are the optimal durable memory material as they will insulate your item against any acute forces such as a fall or any type of blow and unlike bubble wrap will not pop and lose their shape if subjected to a strong force.
