Lionel Speartone Records and Record Players

1965?  Three 6” Lionel Records: FG/TMCM (114 A & B); LM & OF (115 A & B); “Little Red Hen,” Parts 1 and 2 (112 A & B).  Aesop narrated by June Winters and the Speartones.  Little Red Hen” narrated by Al Javelon.  Bridgeport, CN: Lionel Records.  Gift of Susan Carlson, Dec. 18.

What a surprise!  Two of my passions come together!  I was only vaguely aware that Lionel got into the recording (and record-player!) business.  The records look as though they could destroy any good needle used to play them!  78 rpm? 

The perfect complement to Susie’s gift came with it: a vintage Speartone Lionel record player!  4200.  78 or 45 rpm.  In a suitcase casing.  What a pair of gifts!
