The cylinders are good unless mentioned. The covers are all a bit worse for wear with stains, discolouration and fading. Some upper labels are worn, torn or missing, some are written in pencil. Regardless, an interesting selection of early records from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
