Symphonium Zinc Discs
By Russ Barnes

Hello all,  Some time ago I came across (and now have) several metal
(zinc?) discs which are about thirteen and a half inches in diameter.
The tune titles are almost impossible to read as the gold printing,
etc., has faded and worn away.  However I can just make out the word
"Symphonium" (or close).

Does anyone collect them?  I am looking for 16-inch diameter American
Armed Forces Radio discs of the 1940's and early 50's.
