photo and message on phonograph postcards in 1930s

      Here was a new way to send a greeting to a friend. Phonograph records on postcards have been made before, but a German inventor combined the record with a real photograph in the 1930s. The sender had his picture taken, recorded his voice on top of it, and the end result was a personal record ready for the mail. A long message was recorded on several postcards, each one was then numbered.

Right, Post card that carries a photograph along with a message that can be played on a phonograph.

Below,  "Tuck's postcard record from roughly 1929. The 3 inch record is laminated onto an old postcard and is made of a material that will hold up well when played with a steel needle. These were sold in the UK in sets of 4 starting in roughly 1929. They are unusual but not particularly rare."
