Knuckle Busters small vinyl record (not authenticated)

The item is a small black vinyl record, consistent with the format of a 7-inch single. The center label is round with a yellow and pink background, featuring illustrated cartoon boxers and the text 'KNUCKLE BUSTERS' at the top, along with 'AUTHENTIC RING-SIDE SOUNDS' printed near the bottom. Additional legible text printed in tiny font around the lower edge of the center label reads '1973 Hasbro Industries, Inc., Pawtucket, R. I. 02862, U.S.A.'. The vinyl surface shows minor surface dust and light handling marks, but no major structural cracks or deep gouges are readily apparent from the photograph. The physical identification is primarily based on the clearly visible central paper label displaying the Hasbro copyright and title. The item appears stylistically representative of vintage novelty records from the 1970s, though its current functional condition and overall authenticity remain unverified.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this is a small black vinyl record bearing a center label consistent with a 1973 Hasbro release titled 'Knuckle Busters' with the subtitle 'Authentic Ring-Side Sounds'. The yellow and pink label features illustrated cartoon boxers and legible printing referencing Hasbro Industries. However, I cannot verify the operational condition, audio fidelity, or material composition from a photograph alone, and an in-person physical inspection would be needed to confirm these aspects. My value estimate of $25 to $50 assumes that the item is a functional, period-appropriate pressing corresponding to the visible Hasbro markings. Vintage novelty records and toy-related vinyl from the 1970s generally appeal to niche collectors of pop culture memorabilia and retro toys, though market demand can fluctuate depending on overall preservation and completeness (such as the presence of original packaging, which is not shown here). To better understand the item's status, one would need physical examination, expert appraisal, and provenance documentation. Because this piece is unauthenticated, the stated value range is entirely dependent on the working assumption that the attribution is correct. If the item were to turn out to be a modern reproduction, replica, copy, or produced 'in the style of' the 1973 release rather than a vintage survivor, the market value would drop significantly, likely limited to nominal novelty value of $5 to $15.
