i have been collecting foto's of cylinders from ebay and other sources
now i want to ask for your help
1 the foto sould be as such that the rim text is nicely readable lids and slips are also welcome
2 for brown wax cyl slips are in a lot of cases the only written info that came with a cylinder
3 all makes are welcome
4 i'm especially interested in rare early cylinders since a lot of them tend to be anonymous of makes like f.i. bettini i have never seen slips or number data on the lid
5 for edison i'm searching for rim, lid, and slip foto's
6 for columbia idem as above my database for the 20th cent cylinders is still meager as is the database for grands

this will be a ongoing project to create foto record catalogues for the different makes
i might ask you in the future about discs but this topic is so big that ebay more than fills my needs on this at the moment

i hope to see your contributions and the nice pics you'l post

greetings
tino


some examlpes just for fun!
