The records I'm posting didn't come from Grandma's basement or the leftovers after a phonograph collector kept what he wanted - they came from the estate of a local collector - these were hand-picked over 25+ years by a serious record collector! As such they are truly a delight to handle - clean and well-cared for.
Don't let your budget get in the way of owning some beautiful records - we offer a "60-Day Layaway" plan - e-mail me for details!
Two-minute brown wax announced as "Columbia" - will come in a cloth-lined Edison 2-minute box, no lid No info found on the cyl - the info I've provided comes from a hand-written tag - appears to be old but...
I have a deep suspicion that the brown wax cylinders I'm offering are home re-recordings, PERHAPS made in the last 10-15 years. Some of them fade in and out and some have abrupt endings with extra voices. I can't see any markings of any kind. But at the very least they should be good for shaving and recording again... ?

How does it play?
Extremely quiet - sounds like a girl at the end... ?
How does it look?
Very clean
The postage listed INCLUDES a $2 fee to cover the cost of a new box, packing material and eBay's 10% charge on the postage for this sale.
I'll be posting more cylinders in the next week or two and I'm glad to hold any "wins" in order to cut down on postage costs.
After all... the less you spend with the P.O. the more you can spend with me!!!
With my tired, old mind and computer it takes me forever to reply thru the eBay e-mail system. Feel free to contact us at our gmail account - nickjay49 - with any questions.
Don't feel trapped by eBay/PayPal's greed - other forms of legal tender accepted!
