Holy moly!!!
Probably the biggest cache of NA’s ever found together! I wonder if the same guy got them all?!?!?!
It would be great to see that collection stay together! I knew these were insanely rare but WOW!!!
Heck the Class M with them brought an additional $23K!
Some eBay seller won the lottery! An historic find without a doubt.

I sure hope the new owner goes and picks this all up personally. Too risky to ship.

If you have that kind of pocket change then I'm sure he will just fly somebody out to pick up his bounty and rent a car and drive back.
Congratulation to the buyer.. Preserving history..

The cylinders sold for $60,186.00, in total. Apparently, the Class M was simply an afterthought at a mere $23,600.00

Re: North American brown wax cylinders on eBay
They are absolutely that rare - Very likely they are sole surviving examples of those recordings. Much rarer than the class M they were with .
My hat's off to whomever bid on these and won them and hopefully he or she will win the rest of them. I'm sure that whomever the winner was will not break up the group.
Can't help but wonder if the little paper ring with the pertinent information that was once in the groove at the end of the cylinders is still in the bottom of the boxes?
Very few surviving recordings still have theirs.
