This rare find is a 6-1/2" 78 RPM picture disc made circa 1948 by The Record Guild of America. It is is a two-sided record made of cardboard laminated between two layers of clear plastic "flexidisc".
The Record Guild Of America was a children's music label, based in Farmingdale, New York, that was active during the 1940s and 50s. A primary reason for its success was due to their releasing 78 RPM full color picture discs - a novel product for the times. These discs were released in a variety of sizes: 6 1/2", 7", 10" and 12 inch vinyl. Some releases even included 'flexi-discs'. The label later introduced a series of regular vinyl LPs for children branded as "Simon Says".
Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
