John Cole was an American music publisher, based out of Baltimore, in the 18th and 19th centuries. He was the first publisher to include a picture on the title page of his sheet music publications. This copy of The Star Spangled Banner was published in around 1830 (undated) and is a very early edition of the 1814 original. The copy is in fair to good condition for its age and shows moderate foxing and water stains and sunning to the edges. The edges and corners are also jagged and chipped in some areas. There are 2 pages with music on 2 sides. The actual music and graphics are clear and bright. Starting Bid was 49.95 and the auction ended at 109.00.
