Help with Columbia cylinder boxes!

Post by flashpanblue »

Hello,
I have about 60 2-minute Columbia Indestructible cylinders. None of them have labels on the lids so I have to open each one to find out what the tune is. Does anyone make a good looking reproduction label for the top of the box. When I bought some new reproduction Edison boxes they came with a sheet of blue and white labels that you could cut out and paste on the lids. I have made many photo copies of this original sheet as it comes in very handy ( see picture) I was hoping that someone has made the same for Columbia cylinders.
thanks
Pete

Original Columbia Indestructibles never had labels from day one...nor do the repros... The original Columbia lids only had an Ink stamped cylinder stock# number stamped on the top lid and that's it. No song or author title was ever on the top lids.

The only thing that you can do is get a "period correct" type label. Martha Stewart believe it or not makes these in Black, Blue and green.

Hope this helps!

Shouldn't these Martha Stewart labels be round, not square?
