Paper Seal Around Duo-Art Roll
By Larry Norman

That seal is not an original seal on your Duo-Art roll.  Since
I have always hated rubber bands placed on rolls, as they damage
the rolls, when I sold rolls on my piano roll auction I copied an
original Green roll label from an Ampico roll and made copies and
put them on all rolls that sold on my roll auctions.  I also used
the same label when I did recuts of rolls.

In all the years of collecting, I have never seen a paper seal on
a Duo-Art roll and don't know if they ever made any or not.  It is
quite common to run across Ampico rolls with original seals still
intact.  I have also seen a few QRS rolls with original seals as
well.  Has anyone out there ever seen a paper seal from either
a Duo-Art roll or a Welte roll?  I would love to see a sample.

Musically, Larry Norman - from beautiful Smith Mountain lake, which
is now almost up to full pond and the rain has stopped and we have
beautiful sunny days.  They say that next weekend is probably going to
be the best time for seeing the color change of the leaves on the Blue
Ridge Parkway.
