Al Gerichten - Index of Edison Cylinders

Post by Let Us Not Forget »

My grandfather was an Edison/phonograph collector. I kept a few of his machines and some ephemera but I am not an cylinder collector so I have no need for the booklets shown below. As such, I would like to sell them. I assume they have some value but could not find any for sale. Can anyone provide me with an approximate value? Many thanks!

Well, most of these have been revised and offered for sale now by the Mainspring Press, so I'd suspect that these aren't worth much unless somebody wanted them as more or less "artifacts" of earlier research. I remember your Grandfather from many years ago, he was a really nice guy!

Hi Sean,

I didn't know a revised edition was available. As you said, maybe worth a few bucks to someone who collects "the history of the hobby". Thank you for the kind words about my grandfather too!
