Anyone have any info on Edison’s tin needle counter display from 1929?

I collect needle tins and have never seen this display. It's more than likely very scarce, since Edison didn't make many regular 78 machines or records. It doesn't look too difficult to make the pyramid top from some sheet metal. I imagine that finding an original is extremely unlikely, but I may be wrong...
