Illegible QRS Roll Number
By Michael Cornfield

Recently I came across a QRS roll of a song titled "Am I To Blame",
copyrighted on Jan. 12th (1st) & Jan. 18th (2nd), 1923, by Broadway
Music Corp.  The Library of Congress copyright credits Raymond Klages
with the lyrics and Billy Fazioli with the music.

Can anyone help in identifying the roll number?  This title does not
appear in the Billings Rollography, and the stamped label on the roll
is illegible.  First digit is definitely a 2, second digit looks like
a 3, the 3rd & 4th digits I just can't make out.  It's a nice song
accredited to "Sid" Laney (signature facsimile).

Sadly, there are no additional numbers on the roll, either on the
leader or at the roll end.  There are 5 unidentified rolls in the
Billings Rollography: 2307, 2364, 2375, 2388, and 2390.  If anyone out
there has this roll with a legible roll number, I sure would appreciate
knowing if this is one of those.

Trying to fill in the blanks :)
