Pre-owned 1920-1950s popular Sheet Music. 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 Many of these songs have decorative front covers and some from the 1920s and ‘30s were especially stylish. If a front cover illustration is attributable to an artist or studio they will be named e.g. Heath Robinson, Huntrods, Fred Lowe or Barbelle. Some titles were published during the Second World War (1939 –45), sometimes in a smaller size when ink and paper were in short supply. These pieces of sheet music are secondhand, old and naturally enough, they may show signs of wear and tear. However, most of them are in excellent condition but in a few cases we consider that some damage such as edging tears, a shop stamp, pen marks or a signature are reasonable imperfections considering the age of these manuscripts. There are no detailed descriptions here as to the exact condition of the music listed below but please e-mail us for an honest appraisal of any particular piece or title. As a guide, generally titles are priced in the range £12 - £30 (US$30-$45) + post and packaging.
