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.
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.
