VARSITY 78 RPM sets


Each set consists of three 10-inch 78's in plain brown paper sleeves presented in an envelope which features custom artwork. The first releases are from 1948 and credit the Connecticut Phonograph Co., actually the bankrupt Sonora Co. The name was soon changed to Wright Record Corp. and many were probably available through the early 1950's.
