This is a rare 1905 Vertical - cut ’Neophone Disc Phonograph’ Record, nos. 17195/17529. These shortlived records, made under the Patent of Dr. Michaelis, were the world's first commercially-produced double-sided discs and nowadays are very rarely seen. This one couples ’Valse Brillante’ a flute solo by Albert Fransella, and ‘Caressante Waltz', played by the Irish Guards Band.

Important information for Bidders…
We always combine the shipping costs on multiple items to save you money! If you win more than one item ignore eBay's automated invoice and wait for an invoice from us which will show the discounted shipping total.
We're also happy to hold items for a larger parcel provided they are paid for.
VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: Shipping prices DO NOT include tracking or insurance - please request a quote if required. Royal Mail compensation for lost/ damaged overseas parcels is now reduced to £20 maximum per parcel. Please note that we are not liable for any loss or damage in transit unless insurance to the full declared value of the items is taken - this adds about £5.50 to the shipping total. Please bear this in mind before paying for your item.
