FS: Huge Duo-Art Roll Collection in Missouri
By Tom Hutchinson

Hello MMD!  This 2000-plus roll collection is from the estate of Paul
Stelzner of Washington, Missouri.  The collection contains a high
percentage of recuts.

When Paul acquired rolls they were placed in new boxes with new or
carefully restored labels, new cores and new flanges.  Newly received
rolls were analyzed and all information pertaining to those rolls was
recorded on 3"x5" file cards.  The info on these cards includes roll
number, box size, title with relevant historical information, composer
and performer.

A musical scholar could write a significant paper just on the info
on these cards.  This sale includes the four-drawer index card file
containing several thousand cards with an incredible amount of
information on Duo-Art rolls.  Also included is a collection of Duo-Art
books and literature, plus five or six high-quality book shelves for
roll storage.  No lists of the rolls are available.

Asking $3000.00.  Payment to be made by PayPal or cash at time of
pickup, no personal checks.  Suggest buyer pick up the collection.
Due to physical limitations seller can only offer limited assistance.
A helper can be made available if necessary.  A large van or small
truck will be needed if buyer chooses to take the book shelves.
With reluctance, shipping of rolls alone could be arranged at buyer's
expense.  If any questions please contact me.  Thanks,

Tom Hutchinson
