I know that there was one that attracted quite a bit of attention on the 78list a couple of years ago, and if I am not mistaken, it sold in the hundreds of dollars, but I can't recall the exact amount. Williams and Walker of course were one the first great Black acts to make it big on Broadway, and were a sensation, featured in "all black" musicals back around the turn of the last century. Their records on Victor are extremely rare. When Walker died, Burt Williams went on to be one of the leading draws for the Ziegfeld Follies from about 1911 until his death in the early 1920's and recorded many sides for Columbia during that time including his signature song "Nobody". "When I was in that Railroad wreck, and thought I'd cashed in my "last check"! Who took the Engine off my neck? NOBODY!!
