I guess I'm confused by your listing. You say you don't want a gold moulded cylinder. But your machine package you are preserving is ca. 1900. "Mackie" , whatever that is. Are you looking for an indestructible cylinder, or some other manufacturer? That number doesn't coincide with other numbers I'm familiar with from that time frame era.

It's a brown-wax Edison issue.

Ya beat me to it, George.
It's a brown-wax record that was released in 1898 (Sutton;
Edison Two-Minute and Concert Cylinders). I have the box for this title that was sold by the same Rochester, NY dealer
Mackie Piano, Organ and Music Co.. It's entirely appropriate to imagine the record and the Standard Phonograph could have been in the store during the same time period.
I wrote a long-winded post about the Mackie Music Co. 6 years ago (WOW, that long ago?), here:
