@xiphophilos - thanks for that excellent detective work - I'm happy to know that Mr. D'Almaine is the player here and I'll make note on my sleeve as such!

Here too, the take number stamped into the label allows us to identify the performer (see above). DAHR claims that this was recorded between 1901 and 1908, but the Columbia label they use to illustrate take 7 is a 1907 Grand Prize label listing two expo locations (Paris and St. Louis) and 3 patent dates (1901, 1902, 1906), cf. M. Sherman & K. Nauck, "Note the Notes," page 23.

Another one that wasn't released in 1909, but is first listed in the Fall 1911 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog, page 788.

This was not a 1909 release after all. The patents at the bottom of the label hinted at that: Columbia labels listed these same 5 patents (Dec. 10, 1901-Nov. 30, 1909) between 1910 and 1914, cf. M. Sherman & K. Nauck, "Note the Notes," pages 26-27.

First listed in the Fall 1912 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalog, page 873.

@ historyofcountrymusic The take no. "3" is stamped on your label. That is what will identify the artist.
