Sorry, Mike, I had assumed you owned this record because you uploaded the Oakland images for it, and as I now see, you were also the person that created the original entry. I am talking about Okeh 41263.
No, I meant that typeface was used on Oakland pressings between Fall 1924-1936 or later. You are right, I need to clarify the actual date of your copy below [which I have now done].
The labels on Mike Gann's copy represents an Oakland pressing. The patent dates (Jan. 21, '13 and patent nr. RE. 16588) appear on Okah and Coplumbia labels only between 1928 and 1929, so this is the original 1929 release. The serif font (12 point Century Expanded) in which the song titles are set were used on Oakland, CA, pressings between Fall 1924 and 1936 or a bit later.
Columbia's Bridgeport pressing plant originally set the song titles on their A sides in the sans-serif typeface 10-point Gothic Condensed No. 1 and the B side song titles in the serif typeface 12-point No. 2. But from 1927, probably to distinguish their labels more clearly from the Oakland variant, they used sans serif 10-point Gothic Condensed No. 1 for the song titles on both sides, as here on cyeaman's copy. So cyeaman's copy is another original release from 1929, just a Bridgeport pressing.
