jippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im rich im rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have this pre dog record of s.h. dudley and i have the edison 2m version aswell!!
never knew it was this scarce
what would the 1902 edison be worth?
its a nice descriptive record but not super special its dudley doing the multiple voices of an choir like tenor soprano and bass and some othe quaint types it is very much a imitation of the len spencer type record
this is the second time one of my records turned gold the first one was billy murray with cansas city kitty a 1929 edison blue amberol i saw one sell on ebay for 1000 dollars

Tino, I would love to see a pic of your record. I am a little confused with some of the pics your posting of your achive. Most of what I see are of Yelle A's
collection. Did you buy his collection??.
if only!!!haha lol
no but jelle and me are great buddies at the moment i act as his ebay searcher since im very busy searching for pics of rare phono's for my phono foto archive i sent him ebay links every day with things he might like and yes you probably saw the pic of the roneophone wich is yelle's most other pics are from my 2500 pic archive wich has several pics taken at yelle's place
as for the record i have all my 78s and wax cylinders in my digital archive so i can check within secods if i have a recording or not sofar i collected 200,000 mp3s from 1878 to 2013 quite a number of these are also from jelles collection but sice i am a fan of dudley i remember buying it from guess who...
and searching through 10,000 records for 1 pre victor in a smal attic filled with a 100+ phono's
well its quite a undertaking
just look what i have to swim throug to get to my record storage cabinets(here hidden from view!)
its a nice record dough quite different than most of dudley's recordings like i said its very reminicent of a len spencer record
what i wonder is... do i know you?.. we apperently have a mutual friend tell me your name so i can say hi from you to yelle the next time i call him on the phone
greetings
tino
ps note that the pics of my attic room where taken at different times and i moved phono's around the busy bee on the pics is the same one
and the bust is not edison but a young napoleon another one of my many fasinations

About 12 years ago a seller on Ebay offered 6 pre-dog Victor records in the ten inch size and one in the group had the "VICTOR TEN INCH RECORD" label. The seller included just one photo of the records as a group as I recall. Obviously, several other people besides me noticed it as well and the group went for a princely sum but not anywhere near what this one here brought. Anyway, congratulations!
