I recently found in my collection of Duo-Art rolls one that has
what appears to be a factory paper seal. This looks to be an original
Duo-Art roll from the Aeolian Co, number 0573, "I Can't Give You
Anything But Love", played by Frank Milne.
The seal is a simple band wrapped around the middle of the roll
and holding the tab in place. Printed on it is the instruction is
"To Break Seal Pull Here" and is printed black ink on white paper.
It also has the typical artwork you'd expect on something from the
1920s.
Not being an expert in this field of roll collecting, I do not want
to break the seal and play the roll if this kind of find should be
preserved. I have attached pictures.
