Vintage 78 RPM Records

Description

This collection of 54 records, 78 RPM, is contained in 5 record albums. They probably date to the end of the 19th or  beginning of the 20th century and were played on a wind-up record player. They were last bought inadvertently, stored inside a piece of furniture at an Illinois barn sale in the early 1960s, They have not been played since then as I do not have the equipment. They look in good shape and I believe they can be played. 45 of them are double-sided and 9 are single-sided; 33 of them are 10 inch & 21 are 12 inch in diameter, I have made a complete listing of them on 5 pages which are attached, showing recording company, artists & musical piece.
