* * A few more similar pieces will be listed over the next couple weeks.
Some of the pieces depict Blacks with stereo-type features &/or have offensive words in the title or lyrics.  I am in NO WAY a Racist or Biggot & do not condone these historic music practices.  In these days of "Black Lives Matter" & racial sensitivity I realize some people could be offended by these pieces.  I mean no offense & collected these over the years because they were colorful & historically interesting to me ... they still are.  I am condensing / downsizing my collections now in retirement ... thus making these items available.  Some of these pieces are more than 100 years old & been in my collection for several decades.  They are historically important &
display well.
Condition is Very Good; partially split spine has been repaired from inside w/ tape; 1" edge tear at spine, inside / insert page of music has rough edge; etc.    musically complete (ie. No missing insert / middle pages).   clean - crisp - VIVID graphics, see photos ...
I am selling-off a large portion of my Sheet Music Collection (all categories).  Been collecting over 50 years.  Have some really nice fresh-to-the-market pieces
coming up ... many of these have not been circulated / offered in 30 to 40 years (housed in my collection).  Be watching over the next year.
