Welcome to my international rock & blues memorabilia collection,  Collecting has been my hobby for over 55 years in the USA and in various other  countries, where i lived, worked or when on vacation. Some of them were on loan to the Rock & Blues Museum in the Netherlands and in Clarksdale, USA (1996-2019) and are now in storage.  As i cannot take them with me they need to have a new home, I will be selling most of my private collection of used records & memorabilia and other stuff due to retirement!



THIS AUCTION IS FOR:

BILLY LEE RILEY METAL STAMPER 33 rpm DMSLPM2025-A +Autographed Photo.  VINTAGE

The metal stamper is in a very good condition see photo's and cannot be played as it a "father or mother" of the lp used for the printing of a record, see matrix number on photo's plus the sleeve as is in which the stamper came in, which has a split and writings on it etc., as you can see.

It comes with 2 album covers as is (no records) and a lot of record labels.


The stamper comes in its original envelope as is.. These stampers were usually thrown away by the record pressing plant after they are used for pressing the albums. They can only be used for so many impressions and then they are done. Usually discarded or recycled. They have a beautiful silver color and would look great framed.  I bought this stamper decennia ago ago from a collector who got these from record pressing plant


Note: One of these stampers was on display with the album cover in the Rock & Blues Museum Clarksdale from 2006 to 2019, see photo image, when Billy Lee Riley dies i wrote an article in Blues star paper in Clarksdale see the photo image which mentions the stamper and album.... both photo images are for reference & reading purposes only and prints are not included in this auction.

EXTREMELY RARE & HARD TO FIND. I BOUGHT THIS STAMPER PLUS LABELS AND ALBUM COVERS FROM THE PRODUCER IN THE NETHERLANDS SOME 20 YEARS AGO AT THE DUTCH RECORD & JUKEBOX SHOW IN ROSMALEN.


 I METTHE LATE BILLY LEE RILEY IN PERSON MANY TIMES IN MEMPHIS WHO AUTOGRAPHED SOME ITEMS FOR ME  AT THE TIME. 


I HAD ONE OF THESE STAMPERS FRAMED WITH SOME SUN RECORDS ON DISPLAY IN THE NOW CLOSED ROCK & BLUES MUSEUM, CLARKSDALE (FROM 2006-2019).


THIS STAMPER WOULD LOOK INDEED GREAT IF FRAMED WITH THE AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO.  


NOTE: Extended shipping times, since Covid, being in the high risk group, I ship once a week. The sooner one pays the sooner its ships, also lately the mail is slow. Once I deliver the package to the office to USPS its out of my hands, please follow tracking and give it time, USPS is kinda slow these days and some times it takes USPS a week or so longer than mentioned as delivery on the tracking; i can’t be hold responsible for delays in shipping as i do not control the USPS. Thank you for your patience, understanding and cooperation.

What you see is what you get, so please judge for your self.   Communicate all your questions please. No returns in principle as i am retiring from my lifelong collection.
