    Description

    If you're not familiar with Cal Stewart, google him. He was one of the most prolific and famous comic entertainer/ promoters of his time. He recorded a lot as Uncle Josh Weatherby. I am listing 3 lots of nine titles each with no repeats. Probably most of his Columbia recordings are represented between the 3 lots. This lot is particularly complete as all 9 have their original labels either pasted on or still inside the box. All have corresponding lids as well. One label is partially torn off and one is the early plain paper type. Here are the 9 titles...
    --  Uncle Josh at Coney Island
    --    "         "      "  Delmonico's
    --    "         "      "  a Camp Meeting
    --    "         "      on a Street Car
    --    "         "      in a Chinese Laundry
    --    "       Josh's Arrival in New York
    --   Political Meeting at Pumpkin Center
    --  Si Pettingill's Brooms
    -- Uncle Josh's Invitation to the Farm
    All in excellent condition with no scratches, chips or mold; except "Political Meeting" which has a very light, full length hairline (shown). A wonderful lot.
    I have no way to play grade these cylinders; but I visually inspect them. I look for scratches, mold and other wear. These cylinders were all in one collection and appear to be well taken care of. Most look very clean and are in the original labeled boxes (some have the original labels inside and were never pasted on the outside). Shipping for one cylinder is .95 plus .00 for every additional piece. This will not be the case in larger lots. Those lots will be individually priced for shipping. I may be able to include other single pieces in the shipping price. I will be listing many singles and small to large lots, so keep an eye out. Thanks for looking.
    PS...if you do a buy it now and want to combine shipping, I will refund the excess shipping charge after the purchase. Auction sales can be combined before payment, so wait for an invoice for multiple purchases.
