The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I thought someone posted information, with pictures, of the evolution of Edison cylinder record boxes but I'm unable to locate it through the search. Any information on this topic would be appreciated.

Here's a summary of the 2 minute boxes:

That's the one...thanks!

Timing is sometimes a funny thing... After discussing this with the OP last week, I was working today on a thread devoted to this topic. I just finished it, and it's posted here:

Best to all,
George P.

George, you are to be commended for some truly excellent work here. Kudos!

George you show the last Blue Amberol box as type 20 without the .35 cent price. Actually there are two types of this box, one with the .35 cent price and one without the .35 cent price. I can send pictures if you want them.

That would be great, Rich - thanks! I'll add the picture(s) and credit you.

I've been promised a color picture of a Type 3 label too...

Rich,

This morning I was thinking about how easy it would have been for me to overlook a Type 20 box with a price on it, so I ran upstairs for a quick look. Good grief - - when I opened a cabinet, staring me in the face were several! I just shot one and added it to the post:

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention - much appreciated!

George glad to hear you found one. By the way the new link shows “ page does not exist”.

Rich Gordon

Thanks again, Rich. I fixed the link...
