Rare ebonoid cylinders 5 minute record square boxes

Post by Bobby blue »

Hello everyone
I have found these four square boxed 5 minute record cylinders
With beautiful art work on the outside and mint condition
Cylinders(except one damaged but still think un used
I was wondering if anyone new the value
As I have put them on ebay and they have started off well but
Stopped now
Also I am worried about posting these
As I know there very fragile
What would be the best way to post them
Thanks
Bobby

I would like to bid on them but I can't find the listing. Could you please post a link to the listing or the listing number.

Thanks

What is an ebonoid cylinder that is 5 min in a square box? I never heard of these before. I would love to see what these look like.

They look like they're much easier to store.

When I searched eBay it said that the listing ended and that the winning bid was $15.64. If this is true some got an amazing deal. These are very hard to find cylinders. I know I would have paid much more.

These must be rare cylinders. I have never even seen a picture of them in any of the Phonograph books???
