 You lose me at times, Whypie - I guess Kettle Betty is the composer, not so sure about Wilson...

 Question is where are Wilson, Keppel and Betty ?

 Thanks, my misreading, but I stand by my conclusion about the speed.

 Hate to disagree, but the text after the matrix is 'Characteristic Piece' not Pitch.

 The matrix numbers are followed by "Characteristic Pitch" on the labels. This would have been helpful in setting the correct playback speed on the wind-up gramophones of the time against your own piano or tuning fork, but raises the question about the prevailing pitch system.

In A Persian Market was written in D minor, and at this time French standard of A= 435 Hz was in general use. From 1936, the American Standards Association defined Concert Pitch A = 440Hz. The video above has got the pitch about right, at about a semitone lower than modern Concert pitch. If one assumes the phonograph has been set for 78RPM, then we can presume that these Winner and Edison Bell series were recorded at a nominal 78RPM.

Other labels also showed the key signature in preference to the speed, including some early HMV records, like 03156
