The box is in EXTREMELY good shape. The slip is very interesting. It looks like old, faded paper, but the cursive style does not seem to be right for that era. If you note, the number on the box (514) doesn't match the number on the slip.
I consulted the Edison cylinder record database and I think it lists No. 504 as: TROVATORE (Giuseppe Verdi / Salvatore Cammarano), Recorded in 1902 by an unspecified orchestra. No. 514 was the Clipper March, recorded in 1897/98 by an unspecified orchestra. There is no listing for the title "Anvil Chorus". If I am reading this correctly, then this cylinder may be a fraud. -Phil O'Keefe Edison Phonology http://www.engineeringexpert.net/edphono.htm On 7/3/04 3:45 AM, "Steven Medved" <steve_nor...@msn.com> wrote: > http://tinyurl.com/3dd7b > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2254654970 > > What do you think of this? > > Steve > > _______________________________________________ > Phono-l mailing list > phon...@oldcrank.com > http://mail.oldcrank.com/mailman/listinfo/phono-l_oldcrank.com >
