I posted this on 78-l but got no response.  However, I've come to realize over 
the years that the folks on the phono forums are more likely to own these 
obscure vertical cut records.  So, I now ask here as well.

Does anyone have catalog number 123 of Majestic, the U.S. vertical cut record 
from 1916?  The tunes are:

123-A  Daddy by Bettye Shaw
123-B  Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffman by Gramm Trio

I'm interested in the matrix number on side B.  I picked up my first copy of 
this record and in the dead wax it shows "2nd 123" and "10046-2."  The matrix 
of 10046 makes sense but it's the "2nd 123" that has me intrigued that there is 
another pressing of this song with a different matrix.  Many of the early 
Majestics didn't even have a matrix number so perhaps the first one didn't show 
it and those that do I've never seen this nomenclature used.

While I'm asking I'll make my annual call for whether anyone has any Majestics 
they want to write me off-list about either to trade, sell or even just tell me 
what they have as I look to still determine if all records were released that 
were announced.  Thanks.  You can use the email address found on my website 
below.
