The box I have (and the rest that the seller had) don't have the brass frames or labels..I would assume these are later then? J

I have a number of them and they have printed labels on the front with the numbers of Amberols. There should be a small brass "frame" on the front and the dealer would slip in a pre-numbered card with the cylinder numbers on it. The boxes were made by V. H. Rapke of New York City. In September of 1915 he decided to discontinue the labels and the Edison company wrote to its dealers asking if they wanted the company to take over making them (for Blue Amberols). ----- Original Message ----- From: "john robles" <john9...@pacbell.net> To: <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2011 2:23 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Speaking of Edison Boxes... > I licked into an Edison Dealer shelf file box, the type that Edison Dealers > filed Gold Moulded Records in on their stock shelves.
