The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I think I read somewhere that this cylinder was given to Ediphone dealers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the phonograph. Can anyone confirm this? Also, I will most likely sell this cylinder and would like to know a fair value. I couldn't find any completed sales of other examples. As such, I assume it is rather rare. FYI: It is in excellent condition and I'm almost positive it has never been played.

PM sent.

This record is anything but common or easy to find. I would assume this cylinder to easily reach a mid-range 3-digit number.

What's the tpi (threads per inch) on this?

The last 2 copies of this record that Im aware of sold between $300 - $400 in original boxes, but not the correct lids. I have to assume having the correct lid adds more value.

This record is 150 TPI and will play on the Ediphone and Edison Business Phonograph.

Thank you for the information, Scott!

I have tried in vain to find that recording anywhere online. You ought to upload it to YouTube.
