Description

Color: Brown; Red A phonograph record sleeve from the RCA Victor label of the Radio Corporation of America, ca. 1940s. This artifact came with item 2000.201.1.1 in it, but is not the original sleeve. The label name is at the top, with the phrase "The World's Greatest Artists Are on RCA Victor Records" flanking the label hole. The company logo is under the label hole, with the company name, record division name, and the location at the bottom. This layout is found on both sides. On one side is the pencil inscription of the name of a previous owner, but it is not clear what the name is. In poor condition, the object has many creases, acid burns on the bottom edge, and small tears.
