Recently someone mentioned Red Raven Records on MMD. This made me
look through my old stuff, and sure enough I found a Red Raven set in
the original box, with four records and the magic mirror.
These were a neat gimmick using the Zoetrope effect to animate the
images printed on the record label. The records, record sleeves, and
magic mirror in this set are near mint, and box is in fair condition.
I have decided to sell the set, so I put it on eBay.
If anyone is interested in seeing what the set looked like, I included
pictures on the eBay listing:

If you don't want to bother with eBay, the jpegs are:

WAMS has a neat page that shows an actual record animation running.
It can be seen at:

My kids (11 and 13) loved watching and listening to the records
last night, more than they like listening to my player pianos ...
Oh well, I guess Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be! <smirk>
