Normally I sell vinyl records, but this one takes the cake!  Again!  I've had several cylinders for sale here the past year!  This one was released in 1911.  It's an Edison Amberol Record number 653 with Hop Scotch--Barn Dance (Rose) listed on the cylinder top.  It is described as a Concertina Solo with piano accompaniment and Alexander Prince as the performer. I heard the tune online elsewhere and it sounds like the tune has an accordion in it.   The cylinder itself is black colored and seems to be in great shape, but I don't have the vintage cylinder phonogram to play it on, so no clue on how it sounds.  There is some wear to the exterior box and you can see this on the photos.  Not too bad, and you can still read everything on the box. 

A little history on cylinders from Wikipedia:
 
Cylinders were sold in cardboard tubes with cardboard caps on each end, the upper one a removable lid. Like cylindrical containers for hats, they were simply called "boxes", the word still used by experienced collectors. Within these "boxes", or tubes, the earliest soft wax cylinders came swathed in a separate length of thick cotton batting. Later molded hard-wax cylinders were sold in tubes with a cotton lining. Celluloid cylinders were sold in unlined tubes. These protective tubes were normally kept and used to house the cylinders after purchase.
