When I bought my Nifty Nirona Gramophone I also got some records to play on it.
There were two books of records:
"Little Tots Records" Songs Games Stories for Kiddies No 1 and No 2.
There are three records in each set as well as some illustrations and the words to the songs. The illustrations are by Maud Trube. They date to 1923.
As well as that I got another 14 records:
3 x LITTLE GEM RECORDS
4 x “PIGMY” GRAMOPHONEs
3 x MIMOSAs
2 x FAIRY RECORDS
1 x NURSERY RHYMES
1 X The BELL (Rings out / Loud and Clear)
They are 14 centimetres /5.5 ins in diameter.

The illustrations are great!!
These are very good to have with the machine, they look to be in excellent condition too. Regards
These have been well used, I think. The set also came with some photos of twin boys. Having gone through the records I can see these young blokes marching around the room to the music on the machine. The records also have stamp stickers for a variety of suppliers and the price; all were marked a halfpenny, except for one which was 3/4d. On the sleeve of one is a stamp of the shop in George Street where it was bought: "Eutrope’s 466 George Street Sydney Opposite the Queen Victoria Building".
I have seen some Tiny Tots on the internet which are almost mint.
Thanks again for your kind comments.
