Edison Banner Sign framed and hung.

Post by Mlund2020 »

I was finally able to get my newly acquired Edison Banner sign framed and hung in the music building.

Terrific banner and it's fun to snoop around in the photos for other treasures. Jerry B.

All I can say is, "Wow." An entire building for your collection? And here I thought I was lucky to have a nice, big room for most of them. And what a collection!

I'll bet just getting that banner framed cost a pretty penny, too. Nice framing like that doesn't come cheap.

How do you store your records?

Thank you. I built the frame for all of the banner signs myself, so just the cost of wood and paint and a little bit of time and effort. The Edison banner is 10 ft long by 38 inches wide, so most framers wouldn’t touch it.

I am more of a hardware and machine collector than software or record collector. I mostly like the early and historically significant. I like the really rare early records which I mostly display in a glass display cabinet. I don’t have a huge volume of more common 78’s or cylinders so storage for that has not been a issue.
