I recently purchased my first Edison cylinder machine and a box of cylinders in containers. Most of the cylinders have significant mold damage. Do these have any trade value towards some clean cylinders here?
Thanks

Unfortunately you'll find that significantly moldy cylinders have little to no value unless they are exceedingly rare and someone wants a "space filler" copy. The exception would be brown wax cylinders because they can be shaved down and used for re-recording.
Sadly, clean, jet black 2 minute wax cylinders are becoming harder and harder to find every day...
