1940's Record Album (Meaning the book where we get the term Record Album. A collectors item by itself) and 20 MINT CONDITION Shellac Records individually valued at $20-$45 a piece

This is a vintage 78 RPM record storage album. It is designed to hold multiple brittle shellac records, typically from the 1900s to 1950s, in a book-like format.

The term "record album" literally came from this book-style design, which was necessary because 78 rpm records could only hold about three minutes of music per side.

• These albums typically held a number of 10-inch records.

• The records they hold are very fragile and break easily.
