Funny, I just played that Edison Diamond Disc Yesterday evening for the first time. It came in a box of DDs I bought last year.

Edison DD 50637-L - Harry Raderman's Dance Orchestra - Make That Trombone Laugh (Matrix# 7102-C)

The reverse side is "Dardanella", also by Harry Raderman's Dance Orchestra.

Great advertising sign. Thanks for sharing!

Have you tried to uncork the bottle to see what those needles are made of?

There does seem to be at least a couple needles rattling around inside the bottle but I am reluctant to tear the cork apart to see what they look like. Does anybody else have an Eclipse needle?

Just discovered this in a box of stuff I got a couple weeks ago. It is an 'endless' record needle. Still sealed in the package, don't want to take it apart.
