Rare Cylinder? 1927 Fiftieth Anniversary of the Ediphone

Post by Let Us Not Forget »

I think I read somewhere that this cylinder was given to Ediphone dealers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the phonograph. Can anyone confirm this? Also, I will most likely sell this cylinder and would like to know a fair value. I couldn't find any completed sales of other examples. As such, I assume it is rather rare. FYI: It is in excellent condition and I'm almost positive it has never been played.

This record is anything but common or easy to find. I would assume this cylinder to easily reach a mid-range 3-digit number.

The last 2 copies of this record that Im aware of sold between $300 - $400 in original boxes, but not the correct lids. I have to assume having the correct lid adds more value.

This record is 150 TPI and will play on the Ediphone and Edison Business Phonograph.

The content is interesting

I have tried in vain to find that recording anywhere online. You ought to upload it to YouTube.
