Choosing between vintage sheet music lots comes down to breadth versus a focused song selection. The 1900s-1920s folio collection spans multiple instruments and 11 pieces, while the movie-musical lot centers on four songs and is identified for piano. The two listed prices are $14.99 apart, so decide first whether you want a wider historical assortment or a compact group of movie-musical titles.
Quick verdict
Pick 1900s-1920s Mandolin, Guitar, Violin & Orchestra Folios (11) when you want a larger collection that moves across mandolin, guitar, violin, piano, cornet, cello, and orchestra material. Its early-1900s-through-1920s focus also gives it a more archival, mixed-folio character.
Pick Lot of 4 Vintage sheet music from movies musicals when the appeal is specific movie-musical material in a four-piece piano lot. The named songs-*Blues in the Night*, *Only Forever*, *You Leave Me Breathless*, and *One Night of Love*-make this the more concentrated choice.

Where each lot wins
The 1900s-1920s Folios (11) wins on range. Its collection includes instructional material, solos, and folios, with pieces associated with several instruments. Choose this direction if your interest is not limited to one performer or one song style. The 11-item count makes the collection especially suited to someone seeking a varied group rather than a single-repertoire set.
The Movie Musicals Lot of 4 wins on specificity. Rather than spanning a long instrument list, it names four movie-musical songs and identifies piano as the instrument. That makes it the clearer fit for someone drawn to those particular titles or assembling a small movie-music grouping.
Product notes
1900s-1920s Mandolin, Guitar, Violin & Orchestra Folios (11)
This collection is the stronger choice for a shopper who wants variety in one purchase. Across its 11 pieces are mandolin and guitar material, violin solos with piano, and music connected to cornet, cello, and orchestra parts. The early-1900s-through-1920s time frame further distinguishes it as a broad historical assortment, and the mix of instructional collections and solos gives it more than one kind of music publication. At USD 22.99, it carries the higher of the two listed prices. That is the trade-off: its breadth may be less suitable when your goal is a short, piano-centered set of familiar movie-musical songs.
Lot of 4 Vintage sheet music from movies musicals
Choose this lot when four named movie-musical selections are more useful than a larger cross-instrument collection. *Blues in the Night*, *Only Forever*, *You Leave Me Breathless*, and *One Night of Love* give the grouping a clear repertoire identity, while piano is identified as the instrument. At USD 8.00, it is the lower-priced choice in this comparison and keeps the purchase focused on four pieces. Its limitation is scale: the lot contains four items, compared with 11 in the folio collection, and its movie-musical focus is narrower than the other lot's mandolin, guitar, violin, piano, cornet, cello, and orchestra mix.
Final choice by use case
For a mixed-instrument historical collection, choose 1900s-1920s Mandolin, Guitar, Violin & Orchestra Folios (11). It is the fitting pick when quantity, early-period material, and varied musical formats matter most.
For a small piano-oriented movie-musical selection, choose Lot of 4 Vintage sheet music from movies musicals. Its four named songs and USD 8.00 price make the decision straightforward for a focused repertoire purchase.
