Description Format: Sheet Music Instrument: Accordion, Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Violin Year: 1900 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
5700 piece sheet music collection. Of which, less than 200 items are songbooks. About three-quarters of the collection are wrapped in poly sleeves. The majority of the items in poly sleeves also are protected with cardboard. These items were purchased as part of an estate belonging to a life-long sheet music collector in Minnesota. Most of the music is from the late 19th Century to Mid 20th Century. There are a number of categories: military, Hawaiian, black Americana, show tunes and musicals, accordion, waltzes and marches, rags, American popular song/tin Pan Alley, Chorale music, polkas, WWII, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Irving Berlin. Condition varies, but is generally good to above average. We did not pull out music from protective sheets to inspect, therefore there is the possibility of split spines. Mostly looks very well cared for by life-long collector. We counted by hand, but are human! The count is, therefore, approximate.BONUS - I am individually listing a representative sampling of sheets to demonstrate the diversity and overall quality of the collection. Any of those individual listings which remain at the time of your accepted and paid offer will be pulled and included in this lot. Viewing those listings enables you to better assess the overall lot listed here.
