What other information are you seeking? The carton is an older style that corresponds with brown wax cylinders generally predating 1902. There might be a few collectors interested to bid $20-30 on eBay, but there is only one way to find out....

How long were they in business ,where were there stores and how were they related to Edison? Why is this label pasted over a early Columbia label? Did Heppe-Edison dealers do this on all the records they sold ,if so why in 25 years of collecting records have i never seen one for sale and i have seen thousands of Edison and Columbia ect. records for sale? I saw a Peter Bacigalupi box empty no lid or record go for over $500.00 on E Bay is this in that category? Thanks !!
