SOLD: 3min. Columbia Wax Cylinder - $35

Post by Zwebie »

Here is a Columbia 3min. wax cylinder and box, plus one extra empty box.

I can't quite read the title but it looks like cylinder #85032.
I don't have a machine with witch I can test this cylinder, so let the pictures be your guide.

The price is SOLD $35 plus $5 for USPS Media Mail, or $10 for USPS Priority Mail Shipping.
I accept PayPal “Friends & Family” for payment.

Thank You, Bob S.

Years ago I saw a few of those BC cylinders in a local antique shop.I thought they were weird! One of them was an Uncle Josh title.And I remember seeing one of the boxes in another antique store.edisonplayer PS;I think you could play those Columbia BC cylinders on an Edison phonograph without an end gate(such as my Triumph E).But you wouldn't be able to play the entire record,obviously.PS;Years ago my friend Arthur Pare saw one of those Columbias in a local antique shop.It was Arthur Collins singing "The Preacher And The Bear".Unfortunately,it was cracked.Those BC cylinders were awkward to handle due to the extra length.BTW;The store where I saw those BC Columbia cylinders also had a Dictaphone.Some people could mistake those for dictation cylinders.After all,they're the same length!
