Sadly, none of them go back far enough to include 78rpm phonorecords,
and are thus outside my realm of interest...!
For our listeners...I am looking for:
(1) Odd-label (i.e. NOT Victor or Columbia) catalogs of the teens,
twenties and early thirties.
(2) UK catalogs from before 1935 (condition NOT an issue).
(3) US (RCA) Victor catalogs from the 1943-1958 period (NOT
expensive ones...!)
(4) IF fairly affordable...pre-1910 Victor, and pre-1912 (except
1908) Columbia catalogs.
AND...old Sears and/or "Monkey Ward" mail order catalogs...!
