Re: Cylinder record boxes
Very nice cylinder boxes Brian. I've never seen the first & third boxes before. Are they German?
I really like the coloured banding on your Pathé record too. It's much nicer than the orange & white label that is far more common (over here at least).
I'm still waiting to add the coloured Columbia box to my collection. All I ever seem to find is the boring blue label version
Here's a few more varieties to add to the thread. Needless to say, the Ebonoid is my favorite, although I wish it was in better condition (and included the rare cylinder!)

Re: Cylinder record boxes
These are fascinating. The Ebonoid 5 minute record box is something I've not only never seen before but never heard of ! Ya learns something every day.

Re: Cylinder record boxes
Keep on adding photos - there are so so many I have never heard of or seen! (especially from over the Atlantic) Brian Keith

Re: Cylinder record boxes
this is a really great thread, thanks for posting all those photos. I too have never seen a non-round cylinder container before.

And more and more and more works of art on round cardboard!
