Edison Cylinder Boxes

Post by phonogfp »

“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

December 11, 1906: Abner Seeley received a U.S. patent (No.837,970) on a “Record Box.” This was the familiar container with indented bottoms and lids which housed Edison Gold-Moulded Records.

Think of the money he would have made had the patent provided for their alternative use as pen/pencil holders.

Think of all the boxes which were thrown away by people who bought cylinder cabinets with pegs.
