My Californian friend Ed Sprankle's roll auction list is finally out
(the last one was in 1994!) -- it is a postal auction, the closing date
for bids is July 17th.

There are more than 500 lots on it including Ampico, Duo-Art, Welte
and DeLuxe, Standard 88-note, 65-note, 58-note, organ rolls, posters,
pictures, graphics and other musical miscellanea (roll catalogs, trade
cards etc.).  The content leans heavily towards 1920s pop tunes, blues,
rags, etc.

Ed swears that his next project is to get on-line, but in the meantime,
if you would like a copy of his auction list call him or write to him at
