I'm back again! Help dating a record

Post by Timo Gramophone »

Hello everybody!

I'm back again after a long time of absence. I apologize for not being online on this site for Some time. I have a question. I recently bought a , what i believe, British one sided Zonophone. I wonder, how old is this one ? I would think 1906, because the song "Flying Arrow" came out in 1906?

The number on the label is X-40170.

Thanks in advance,

Timo

The late Eddie Shaw's D.A.T.E.S. Part 3 shows English Zonophone X-40086 to X-40145 as being issued in 1906, and X-40146 to X-40201 in 1907.
