Description

A phonograph record sleeve from Brunswick Records, Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, ca. 1926. On one side of the sleeve is the company name, prices for 10 and 12 inch records, and other information. The other side lists three models with images of the company's "Panatrope" phonograph, which appeared in 1926, and lists "Outstanding Records," including Al Jolson's "My Mammy" from "The Jazz Singer" (which was a play in 1925 and then the first sound motion picture in 1927.) Witth some major tears, gashes, and creases, as well as soiling, the condition is fair.
