Krausmeyer and his dog Schneider - 1904 Victor Grand Prize Record

Taking you back 111 years to the days when ethnic dialect Comedy records were extremely popular. Here is a German Dialect record from 1904 performed by Len Spencer and Lou Holt, with their rendition of Krausmeyer and his Dog Schneider, who loves his master but is very fearful of the "Old Lady" for reasons that will be obvious as this classic comedy recitation unfolds. The Talking Machine is an original Victor Type II from around the same era as the record, and came with a decorative quarter sawn oak cabinet, single spring motor and exhibition reproducer. This particular example has an original black and brass bell horn.
