| This is one of the more obscure 5½" discs which was available in the early 1920s. Beacon used Mimosa masters and was presumably for sale at 6d, but where they were available is a mystery. They are pretty scarce and I've only seen one or two myself. |

There are two series. Although the C- series is earlier than the B- series, I'll
list the series alphabetically.
