363ed. Five Original Diamond Disc Storage Boxes, Full of Early Issues, Ex. Cond

$

150

Title:   Five Edison Diamond Disc Storage Boxes, Full of 30 Early Diamond Discs (six per box)

Artist:   Various - mostly are popular instrumental and vocal, not much classical vocal or opera

Label & Number:   Edison Diamond Disc - all early issues from about 1913 thru 1916

Defects:   Records:  Twenty discs are in very good to excellent condition, the remaining ones have some lamination problems, but most of these have at least one side that is playable.
Boxes:  All have flaps and are solid, although they do show wear around the edges.  None have serious damage.
NOTE:  Any fine white horizontal lines in the images are the result of scratches on my scanner glass.  They are NOT a defect on the record.
Shipping:  The entire collection weighs 35 pounds.  Records will be removed from the boxes, placed in utility sleeves and shipped separately from the boxes.  We suggest that overseas bidders check on the postage cost before placing any bids, as shipping could be quite expensive.

Comments:   These boxes were designed for use with the early A-150 Edison Diamond Disc phonograph, or similar models.  They were soon discontinued, as it is somewhat difficult to remove the records from the top loading boxes.  This collection is basically intact in the way it was used and preserved over 100 years ago.  It is surely a very significant addition for any modern day Edison collection.
Featured This Week:  Edison Diamond Disc Records.  We are listing a selection of both popular and classical titles.  These unique records offer many selections and artists not found on standard 78 rpm issues of the same era.  They are all vertical cut, and play beautifully on an original Edison phonograph or with a modified modern stereo cartridge and stylus.
