This 12" 78 RPM record appears to be in NEAR MINT Condition, ALMOST NO Evidence of handling and play; For the very simple reason that any inspection is an opportunity to damage the records and I do not have a 78 RPM player, I have kept my inspection to a minimum and do not play the records; I wish I could be more specific, but this record is part of the left-over inventory of the Hauschild Music Company, Victoria, Texas, which went out of business in 1980; HMC opened for business in 1891;

The primary item was inventory of Hauschild Music Company, co-owned by Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a “Physiognomist – Bibliopolist – Cognoscente di Eccellentissimo”, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Gallery” at “The Oldest House” in Victoria, Texas.

I have listed several hundred 33's and 78's from leftover HMC inventory; these date from at least the 1920's thru the 1970's; blues, classical, comedy, country and western, dance, Easy Listening, folk, humor, jazz, Instrumental, Language, Latin, light classical, Marching Band, Opera, Operetta, Political, pop, rock, sacred, show tunes, Spanish, spoken word; many items are "demo", "preview", "promo", "promotional", "DJ" pressings that were not available to the general public; your comments are appreciated;

Buyer pays shipping and handling - Minimum $ 4.00 in USA; Minimum $15.00 to Canada and Mexico; Minimum $25.00 to European Countries; Minimum $35.00 to Pacific Rim countries; other as agreed.
