The Gem is a pleasure to pack around but the cylinders are a nuisance. I was thinking how easy it would be to make a device to carry a small number of cylinders and make them more portable. Every time I'm in an antique shop and see the little tin Coke carrier, I think how nice it would be to have something for cylinders. I would make something lightweight but sturdy out of wood with a handle on the top. I have an idea on design but I have not priced the raw materials. How many cylinders would you like to carry this way...6?...8? or ? If it could be made for $25 would you be interested? Any comments would be appreciated.

[Phono-L] wanted Brass Orthophonic reproducer
I just picked up a nice VV 8-9 this weekend and am really enjoying it! I have it all polished up and playing some of my favorite records. This is a late model, but I'd really like to purchase a Brass Ortho. Reproducer for it. Does anyone have one available in nice condition? I would also consider a nice standard tear drop (later) version if the gold is nice and it plays well. Please contact me direct with any offers. Best, Ron ronbr...@aol.com ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] Unreleased Diamond Disc?
I never saw this message appear so trying again. Glenn From: Glenn Longwell To: Antique Phonograph List Sent: Sat, June 26, 2010 2:23:04 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Unreleased Diamond Disc? Greg - thank you very much for the information. I guess the "finally rejected" statement I have about this record must not mean that it was rejected prior to being released commercially. Sounds like it wasn't in the commercial catalog for long though. Regards, Glenn From: Greg Bogantz To: Antique Phonograph List Sent: Fri, June 25, 2010 10:54:03 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Unreleased Diamond Disc? According to the book "Edison Diamond Disc Re-creations, Records & Artists, 1910-1929" obtained from Tim Gracyk's website, the DD #50067 is indicated to have been coupled (R and L sides selected) on July 21, 1913 and listed in the catalog in August 1913. The selection was cut out of the catalog on December 6, 1916. There is no indication that this disc was unreleased. There is only one matrix number listed for the R side as #1250 "On the Road to Mandalay" by Thomas Chalmers & Chorus. The L side matrix is #1105 "Danny Deever" by Marcus Kellerman. No other matrix numbers or artists are shown for this selection.

This list has been helpful before in my finds of Diamond Discs. This time the story has a twist. A colleague of mine's ancestor (I think great Uncle) was Marcus Kellerman, a baritone. Here's a little bit of info on him (http://sdrcdata.lib.uiowa.edu/libsdrc/details.jsp?id=/kellerman/3&page=1&ui=1). We found a copy of a cylinder he did, Danny Deever, on the UCSB website, an Amberol from 1911, number 682. In the documentation I have it shows that he also sang this song on Diamond Disc, 50067, with matrices 1105-A, B and C in June 1912. All were shown as rejected. So I assumed this was never released commercially. However, what I found was 50067 with matrix number 1105-5. Unfortunately, in this small collection I saw this is the only disc I brought home because I knew that Danny Deever was sung by Kellerman (there was another version sung by Arthur Middleton) and was hoping this was the one by Kellerman for my friend. If not for that I wouldn't have bought it because most of the records, including this one, had lam cracks. Having a number for the matrix makes it a quite interesting find. My question is whether this record 50067 with Kellerman's version of Danny Deever ever released commercially. I know there are people on this list with the right Edison books to probably tell this. I'm not sure how accurate my information is. If it truly wasn't released the rest of the records might be of similar nature - perhaps another dealer stash find. There were probably 10-12 of them and didn't really take a closer look because of the lam cracks on them. Thanks for any help.
