Hello Robert, Yes, that email accepts attachments. I would be interested in receiving them. I am also interested in the matrix numbers. Thanks for offering. I'm guessing they are the 7" ones since I have yet to come across a sleeve for the 9.25" records. Why Majestic? Well ... I came across a Sonora phonograph along with 12 Majestics in their original sleeves a few years back at an estate sale. It was the first time I had seen the Majestic label. Asking around I didn't get much information about the company. From what little I learned asking around I found that some of the information out there was incorrect. I'm not an academic type that does research but thought it would be an interesting new venture to try. Being a small company that didn't last long I figured it would be a smaller project to tackle. So off I went. No particular reason it was Majestic. I did happen to like the looks of the label but I suppose it could have been almost anything. Being a New York City based company I was able to research there when visiting for work (shhh, don't tell my boss). I found it quite fun poking around the county clerk's office, court house and library to get the information. Part of the fun was building the web site as well since I had never done that before either. So now, for fun, I started doing some research on the other vertical brands of the time, Paroquette (makers of the Par-O-Ket record) being one of them. I don't expect to put it all up on the web site like Majestic but you never know. By the way, Majestic only manufactured their own discs. So that's the story. Hopefully, you're not sorry you asked!!

I have a couple Majestics in original sleeves, as well as some Par-O-Kets and other things (I don't know what all Majestic manufactured). I'll scan them and send you the scans if you like. Can you receive attachments at majesticrecord at snet.net? While we're on the subject, here's a question I always like to ask collectors: why Majestic?
