Mignon

A 6" German-produced disc  from 1912. The catalogue numbers started at 1 and reached at least 19. They were part of a "deal".
For £1, you got a mini-gramophone, and an album of 6 Mignon records, some needles and a carry-case.
They were manufactured in Germany by Lindström, but all the known recordings were made in London.

 

Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in this listing.
In June 2014, I found FIVE of these in a batch, which has helped to bump-start this listing.

My thanks to the following who have since added to the listing: Frank Andrews, Bill Dean-Myatt, Mike from Australia, Daryl, Adam Miller, Steve Walker.
