This is the original AMPICO Piano Roll No. 216533, featuring Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz, arranged and played by Frank Milne. This late-1930s medley is one of the more desirable Ampico popular-music rolls, combining the iconic Over the Rainbow with three additional hits of the era. This is one of forty (40) Rolls we recently acquired from an extensive collection. We will list some as a single roll, and others will be sold in lots of several rolls.
The roll is complete, tightly wound, and the entire perforated music section is intact. The only cosmetic flaw is a small, old stain (possibly glue or varnish residue) in the decorative printed header area, well before the musical perforations. The leader tab is present and attached, and the roll advances normally.
The box label shows some age-related wear, but the roll itself remains a strong and highly collectible example for both display and play.
Buyers seeking classical film-era Ampico music will appreciate this title.
You will receive the exact roll shown in the photos.
Although I do not have an Ampico piano to test it, the roll appears complete and structurally sound, with no visible edge issues or paper damage. It reflects the charm and musical elegance of Ampico’s golden era, especially in sought-after dance, film, and featured-artist titles like this one.
An excellent choice for collectors, players, or anyone looking to add a top-grade Ampico roll to their library. See them all; happy to combine shipping for extra savings. Please visit our eBay Connectibles Store to see the entire collection.
