Edison 4 Minute wax cylinder records opening announcements

[bobkolba]

The early Edison 4 minute wax amberol cylinder records included announcements at the beginning. What was the number of the last record to include such an announcement?

If I am reading the Excel Discography correctly, 410 was the last to be announced. Other sources should be checked.

4M-410
1909.12
Ada Jones (fV), Len Spencer (Bar), (O), Edward Meeker (ann)
Ludwig's air castle - Vaudeville sketch (Len Spencer)

Curious too the number of announced Amberols which were later available as Blue Amberols. Off the top of my head I know of three:
-The Preacher and The Bear 1560 (I have two versions one announced and one unannounced).
-Morte Otello 28140.
-Cavalry Charge 23330. This one is interesting as it is listed in the British series and from the catalog number, it was published in around 1915 in this form.
