[ARSCLIST] Assessment needed in NY area
Gad, what a difficult question..bet there's nobody within a thousand
miles of New York City who could perform this service. Anyway, please
contact me off list re
"An extensive collection of
approximately 3,700 vintage records (including their original sleeves)
which date from the early-to-mid 20th Century". The collection consists
of a few 33 1/3s. but mainly 78s. We possess a complete inventory
(compiled by the UCLA Archive). A very brief representation of artists
includes "Fats" Waller, Lily Pons, Paderewski playing Chopin,
Toscanini, Sidney Bechet, and other treasures.
At this point in time, we are not seeking to sell the collection; but
rather trying to ascertain if it has intrinsic monetary value. We feel
it certainly is historically worthy.
.... The records are presently
stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled storage facility in
their conscientiously packed original shipping crates."
