Wow! Obviously there's money out there for certain items! I hope whoever bought this goes to pick it up in person!

Yikes. I realize this never made it to BA, but I'd hate to even OWN it. Wax amberols are just so fragile. I recently had my second copy of Marie Dressler's "He's My Soft Shell Crab On Toast", which is also rather scarce self destruct on me.

Don't forget there was a BA of Billy Murray's "Kansas City Kitty" on Ebay a few years ago that nearly hit $5k...

the most expensive cylinder I've ever seen was a Bettini cylinder of the Pope.
It sold for $20,000.
A lot of dosh for a piece of wax that could crack or go moldy.
