The unusual That "Hand-Played" Rag from 1914, composed and published by David H. Silverman and Arthur R. Ward, here beautifully performed by Tom Brier at the West Coast Ragtime Festival 2011. Does anyone know if the printed score for this rag is available somewhere?

It's in a book that I have, "All-American Ragtime vol. 3" (the first ragtime sheet music book I ever got). I was not able to find a copy in an online archive anywhere. I can scan it... It doesn't have the original title; the All-American Ragtime series stripped off the titles to create a more uniform appearance (though otherwise the scores are untouched, so they still have varying printing styles... making one wonder what the point was!).

Thanks, Keeper! I have all 5 volumes of "All-American Ragtime" in my collection, so I should be able to find this rag here. It's a nice little tune. BTW, thanks for sharing this video! :-)
