National "O" Music in Coinola "O" Roll Format
By Rick Crandall

In working on the O-Rollography I've learned that there were some
National O-rolls sold in the 1920s.  National is the company that
made the larger Peerless "O" roll for Peerless and Engelhardt but
apparently they re-marketed and maybe arranged some A-rolls and
O-rolls.

One collector remembers selling a National O-roll (in Coinola O-roll
format) at a Union show years ago.  We'd love to find that roll or
one similar to play it and assess if it was just a relabeled Clark or
Capitol roll or indeed arranged by someone else presumably at National.

Does anybody have a Coinola O-roll with a National label on the box?
I'll be posting an updated O-rollography on the web in a few weeks
and I'll announce it here.  Collectors are being very cooperative but
there's more out there -- please help!  If desired I'll keep your name
in confidence.
