Your English is fine - - far better than my Polish! ;)

I have month to month Edison sales data for each model available from 1896 to May 1908. But that means no Amberolas or Diamond Disc machines. :(

Gem No.116884 left the factory about February 1905.
The Fireside was introduced in 1909, so I have no sales data for them.
Home No.245098 left the factory about January 1907.

Standard No.573515 left the factory about February 1908.

Hi George,
could I also impose on you and ask when Standard No. 984 was produced? I always assumed 1898.
Kind regards
Neil
