To all,
I have a half dozen or so black Amberol cylinders without boxes. Do you know of a good source for quality repro boxes?

It's an interesting website but I didn't see boxes for wax Amberols. I think your best bet would be a wanted post in the trader. Jerry

Which brings up a good question. What is the correct box style for wax Amberols? The one with the green type?Jerry B. wrote:It's an interesting website but I didn't see boxes for wax Amberols. I think your best bet would be a wanted post in the trader. Jerry

Re: Source for cylinder boxes?
Yep - the wax Amberols came in the green boxes (unless they were Special Amberols provided with Four Minute Attachments). These will have a soft lining inside.FloridaClay wrote:Which brings up a good question. What is the correct box style for wax Amberols?
