His name was John Dosso. My mother is moving out of her house to mine and I found my grandfathers records. I will just list the names of the top four I took out of a box. They could not have been played in 50 years and look to be in great condition:</p> <p>Worlds Greatest Operas In six parts, part five in French<br /> FUAST (GOUNOD) act IV<br /> March and Soldiers Chorus</p> <p>Red Sseal record<br /> RCA Victor<br /> 13790-B<br /> FUAST-SALUT, DEMEURE<br /> Jussi Bjooerling, tenor</p> <p>Show Boat<br /> Columbia masterworks set mm-611</p> <p>Wieniawski: concerto no 2 in D minor for violin and ochestra<br /> Isaac Stern violin<br /> New York philharmonic<br /> Conducted by Efren Kurtz<br /> Columbia masterworks set mm-656</p> <p>Beethoven symphony no 7in A major<br /> Musical masterpieces on victor records<br /> (orthophonic recording)</p> <p>Are these worth anything? </p> https://gracyk.com/forum/topic.php?id=45#post-52 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 16:06:19 +0000 fmblizz 52@https://gracyk.com/forum/ <p>Hello group</p> <p> I am new to the forum and have a question about a new cylinder I picked up. I have never owned a Lampert cylinder and from what I have been told some are quite valuable.</p> <p> I have over the years seen pink Lamberts in different collection and pretty much know what they look like.</p> <p> Recently I found a cylinder in an Antique Shop in my area which look different from any that I have.<br /> The cylinder is a two minute cylinder and the lettering on the edge is raised. There is a patent date on July 29, 1902 with a record number of #575. The song is titled "Orch. Overture to Semiramide".</p> <p> There is a secondary ridge about 1/2 in inside the title end of the cylinder followed by what looks to be some type of cardboard roll to support the playing surface.</p> <p> I had to sand this secondary ridge a little to get a full play out of the cylinder and it sound very good. I did notice that the actual playing surface might have been a tan or beige color because during the sanding of the interior, I hit the top edge in a couple places and lighter tan color started to bleed/show through.</p> <p> Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>Gary Blizzard<br /> <a href="mailto:fmblizz@comcast.net">fmblizz@comcast.net</a> </p> https://gracyk.com/forum/topic.php?id=7#post-7 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:48:57 +0000 operafactory 7@https://gracyk.com/forum/ <p>I'm looking for suggestions on how to sell an opera collection (in addition to the great suggestions on this website), but I don't want to waste my time cataloguing them all since this would be a monumental task without much in return. Most of these records are in great shape. They have minimal to no spindle wear, the box sets all have pristine booklets and/or librettos and the outer jackets are in great shape structurally but aesthically show a little bit of age (minimally worn edges or corners, etc). I'll sell them individually ($0.99 single lp or $3.99 box set) or the entire lot for a reasonable price. Please feel free to call me if you are interested or forward my phone number to someone you know who might be interested. I will be glad to rifle through the collection for something specific if necessary. 585-506-6975. </p>
