I, too, found one just like this in an Edison C250. It sheds worse than a shaggy dog. Amazed there is still any fur left on it. CDB

Thought I would add a new one I just picked up. I like how it represents a Victrola red label Enrico Caruso record.

I picked up a Columbia 710 Viva-tonal (from the original owner's great grandson) a month or so ago that had 3 identical dusters still inside. The top surface was completely gone from one, but I kept 2 of them. They are about 5 inches long and advertise a Columbia dealer located at 747 Merrimack Street in a town in Massachusetts whose name I couldn't decipher from what is left. Ironically, his first name was Victor. The last name is Achin. I found him in a 1940 census living nearby at 784 Merrimack in Lowell.

That duster looks nice, and while it would be awesome to have an Opera, it would likely go best with a Victor R. ;)
