Looking at the disc on the eBay sale, it is the studio I thought it would be. They were very active in the early to mid 30s, changing over to lacquer coated discs probably in 1935. This is probably between 1931 and 1935.

They are all recorded on a lathe, but you can’t cut aluminum. It tears.

Some were cut (on a record lathe). I've transfered many that were cut.
