The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The Talk Of A Postage Stamp is an interesting, and somewhat rare cylinder.

It recounts, in humorous ways, the travel of a postage stamp from sender to receiver. See and hear it now in my next entertaining Video!

Very cool. Never heard of that record. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! A first for me as well. What a fabulous story.

First thing that comes to mind is, "I'm Just a Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock!

Thanks All.

Yes this was such a cool cylinder, I had to make a video of it. Next month were back to another epic video on How Does That Coin-Operated Phonograph Work!

And 52089, I agree. Those who watched Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970's would recognize this cylinder as similar to the Schoolhouse Rock short I am Just a Bill! A great series as well!!!

Ya know the artist that did this recording sounds a lot like the guy who did all the Cohen "goes to dentist, wedding phone etc.
Maybe ??? Pretty neat Shawn

I would suggest finding someone at the American Philatelic Society or similar organization and alerting them to it. You will probably get thousands of hits!

Very cool! I like how you put the "lyrics" up mixed with emojis
