Piano Roll Identification & Label Service
By Tom Hutchinson

[ Ref. 051011 MMDigest, Universal Medley Roll 303477

MMDers,  I have an answer for Earl Hennagir.  The Universal Themodist
medley roll no. 303477 is

  "Greenwich Village Follies, Selection"
  A. Baldwin Sloan, $1.00.

This is the complete listing in a copy of the Universal Music-Rolls
Catalog in my collection.  I was not so lucky with John Phillips'
request for the identity of the Perfection Roll.

I possess an extensive collection of research materials concerning
piano rolls consisting of the Billings Rollographies, the "Complete
Ampico Catalog" by Obenchain  and photocopies of virtually every piano
roll catalog from the early 1900's to the present.  Secondly, I have
the piano roll box label making program by John Miller.

I would like to offer a service to MMD members.  If you have an unknown
roll for example with the leader and box label missing, if you can
supply the number which is often stenciled at the end of the roll or
occasionally right in the beginning and pick out the title from the
words we can usually figure out what company made it and produce a
correct label for your box and or for the leader.  Of course the more
information supplied the more likely we will be to come up with a
correct label.  Ideally if you can send box ends or leader labels we
can produce new totally authentic labels.

The offer: You supply the most information you are able, the height
and width you wish your label to be and for $2.50 we will attempt to
identify your roll and produce three (3) authentic labels, one for each
end of the box and one for the leader.  We will mail these back to you
in a first class envelope.  If you want more than one set of labels
reduce the price to $2.00 for each set.  I can accept PayPal at
<hutweb@tranquility.net>  or you may mail me the funds and the info
to Tom Hutchinson, 15361 Hopper Rd, Sturgeon MO, 65284.
