Victrola label 8040, dated August 11, 1908. Song spans both sides of the record. The record itself is in excellent condition, especially considering its age. No visible scratches or wear. I don't have a turntable that can play 78 RPM, but the record looks as though it would play very well. Still in the original paper sleeve. Sleeve is somewhat wrinkled and has one tear, visible in photo. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4817112918&category=306">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4817112918&category=306 Jan 19 06, 9:42 PM
