@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.
