Surprise Find In A Group Of Mostly Uncle Josh Cylinders

Post by phonogal »

I was so happy to find this cylinder,#5553 Mamma's Grown Younger, among a group of cylinders that I recently bought. I don't usually find much in the way of cylinders in my area, so it was nice to know that some may be out there. :D I guess that's what keeps us all out looking.

Like when that happens!

Before I knew anything about such things, I found a pretty pink cylinder and swopped it for a bunch of ordinary ones. That was the only one I've seen in my parts.

I have my share of good fortune since, so I guess it's all good! ;)

When I bought my Standard B from a local antique store it was being displayed with a pink Blue Amberol cylinder on it.

That record is called a "Royal Purple." One of Edison's line of cylinder records with more serious music on them. :)

Makes sense to me. The song is Long Long Ago by Frieda Hempel.
Thanks.

Nice find!

The repro of the Original Royal Purple cylinder container is available from APSCO.
