Product notes
Vintage 1920s Sheet Music, Lot of 5
The appeal here is the story behind a named composition. "Any Ice To-day, Lady." is described as a 1926 "college hit" by Francis Drake "Pat" Ballard, and its cover is framed around an iceman encountering a protective matron. Published by Skidmore Music Co. in New York City, the piece gives the lot an early popular-song focal point. Choose Vintage 1920s Sheet Music, Lot of 5 if that particular historical character matters to your piano repertoire or collecting interest. Its limitation is condition: it is marked Good, so it is not the condition-led choice in this pairing.
Lot of 4 Vintage sheet music from movies musicals
For a shopper who wants the selection named plainly, this lot spells out "Blues in the Night," "Only Forever," "You Leave Me Breathless," and "One Night of Love." That makes it easy to prioritize particular songs rather than choose solely by era. The Like New condition designation is its most direct reason to choose it over the Good-condition alternative. The limitation is unit quantity: this movie-musicals lot contains four sheets, compared with five in Vintage 1920s Sheet Music, Lot of 5. Its title keeps the focus on music from movies and musicals rather than a specifically identified decade.
Final choice by use case
Select Vintage 1920s Sheet Music, Lot of 5 when the 1926 "Any Ice To-day, Lady." story, cover scenario, and early-song context are the reason you are buying. Select Lot of 4 Vintage sheet music from movies musicals when "Blues in the Night," "Only Forever," "You Leave Me Breathless," and "One Night of Love" are the titles you want in your folder. Those two use cases separate the lots cleanly.
