Vintage Vienna Record in RCA Victor Sleeve
This item is a vintage gramophone record featuring a teal or greenish-blue paper center label with the prominent 'VIENNA' branding across the bottom. The record appears to be a 78 RPM shellac or early vinyl disc, based on the material's sheen and the style of the label printing which suggests a production era between the 1920s and 1940s. The center label contains various text including what appears to be a title and performer, though it is slightly out of focus. It is currently housed in a tan or buff-colored 'RCA Victor' paper sleeve. The sleeve has 'RCA VICTOR' printed in red ink along the top left. A notable feature is the handwritten cursive script on the upper part of the sleeve, possibly a previous owner's name 'G. L. Berganel' or similar. The condition shows significant signs of age and handled use; the paper sleeve is wrinkled, creased, and shows yellowing/patina consistent with mid-20th-century paper. There are multiple creases radiating from the center hole and visible edge wear along the sleeve. The record itself shows some surface dust and minor scuffs visible through the center cutout. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume commercial audio production of the pre-LP era, utilizing standard industrial printing and pressing techniques.
