10 vinyl pressings of G'schichten Aus Dem Wiener Wald are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1926 and 1931.
The earliest pressings are from 1926, in Germany. One of them is Electrola E.G. 263.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E.G. 263) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 8-40512 BW294IIΔ M and 8-40513 BW295IIΔ H. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
