That appears to be a 5" Berliner. We recently were able to purchase one, and it looks identical (except for the title). They are VERY thin compared to the 7" Berliners and it's a wonder any survived at all. Not surprising that it is being sold in Germany where they were made. This title is probably the most sought after being Berliner's own voice. It is said that he recorded others as well. Our records is "Barnyard sounds", which is rather poor imitations of clucking and mooing. I would imagine this was Berliner also (no documentation however), because I don't see him paying someone else to record it! Our 5" Berliner plays a total of 45 seconds! If it is pushing $2,000 with 7 days to go, one wonders where it will end up!
WE HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU AT THE 26 ANNUAL CALIFORNIA ANTIQUE PHONOGRAPH SHOW AUGUST 13 & 14.
