While looking on ebay I came across this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Edison-Advertis ... 1c4711334f I know it says it's a replica but I've never seen or heard or a original so is there really originals floating around? What was recorded on them and does anyone own a original.

Considering the seller is a very well respected forum member and long time collector......I would have to say...yes they do.

Yes an original sold a few years ago for several thousand dollars.

There are originals around, but very few. It's an extremely rare record.

We covered this record, including a transcript of what is spoken on it, in our book, Antique Phonograph Advertising. (http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... ire#p91754)

I was fortunate to acquire an original in 2012. These reproductions are limited and extremely high-quality. I almost bought one when I saw them at the Orlando show a couple of years ago.
