A collection of vintage 78 rpm shellac gramophone records, primarily housed in original or period paper sleeves. The prominent top record features a black and gold Rex record label, identifying the track as You Stepped Out of a Dream, a fox-trot from the 1941 film Ziegfeld Girl. The recording is credited to Jay Wilbur and His Band with a vocal chorus by Al O’Shea. Visible on the label are the catalogue number 10,078-A and the matrix number SL.4078. The records are of standard shellac construction typical of the mid-20th century. The collection is stored in a variety of brown paper sleeves, some of which feature period commercial printing and checkerboard patterns.
