Phonograph Records And Books Auction - ONLINE ONLY
Lot 2082:
Description
For any dedicated enthusiast of early recorded sound, these vintage catalogs offer an invaluable historical window into the golden era of the phonograph. This collection consists of 12 original Victor Record softcover catalogs published by the Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, New Jersey, spanning the years 1920 through 1930. These booklets feature the iconic “His Master’s Voice” Nipper trademark, evolving from classic embossed covers to striking Art Deco designs by the end of the decade, and serve as comprehensive discographies for the era’s classical, jazz, and popular music releases. Overall, the collection is in stable condition, showing typical age-appropriate shelf wear, edge toning, and minor chipping; a few volumes exhibit noticeable spine wear, and the 1921 catalog is specifically missing its back cover. Each booklet measures approximately H 7.25″, W 5″, D 0.25″.
