Value of early historical recordings

Post by Trevor »

I have the only known surviving cylinders of Ada Jones - the volenteer organist and Sweet Marie. They were the first two
Recordings of a female intended for public sale by the edison company. I am trying to figure an asking price. I have contacted the edison museum in Orange New Jersey and the smithsonian but have not heard back yet (contacted before covid19). I will try again once things calm down. Any thoughts on value?

Interesting. Do you have photos and / or a sound file to share.
You might want to communicate with Kurt Nauck via 78rpm.com
