The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hopefully someone can post a picture of one of the albums. They are wider so they fit fairly tightly between the metal dividers. The metal dividers do a nice job of keeping the other albums from flopping over when one is removed. They each can hold ten records.

That makes more sense, chronologically. Would the albums of which you speak be similar or the same as the notoriously rare ones from the C-2?

In shape and design they are pretty similar to the 10" albums that came with the C-2, so wider and deeper to allow for the pages to be turned. The ones I have seen are covered in burgundy cloth with numbered green heavy paper sleeves bound inside. On the spine and on the front of the books, in gold script is written "Edison Records" or "Edison Re-Creations", I don't recall.

I've got a couple of them somewhere back in MN. Most jackets are very brittle or gone from the inside.
