Educational BAs for Ediphone use were manufactured up into the '50s, IIRC...

The expiration date, after which, they would self destruct... That's why there aren't many left... :? :lol:

No, Tony. I think the EXP. 7-10-29 on the cylinder and mold refer to an Exposition of Ediphone dealers that was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the phono 1877-1927, which is also printed on the cylinder.
