I also have this original recording and the phonograph it's played on. I found it in my great-Grandfathers record collection in his dusty attic. It's even in decent condition. How much is it worth? I may even want to donate it if it's worth it.

[ElGordoUno]

Will you eventually donate this to a museum?

How old is this recording and how old was Edison at the time?

[ReneRondeau]

It was reportedly recorded in December 1918, and was released in 1919. Edison was 71 years old.

[ReneRondeau]

This came from the collection of George Frow in England. He bought it from the original owner in the 1950s, I'm the third owner in 100 years.

It is pictured in several books, including Frow's "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion."

He seems to think the other countries helped America. America helped them in 1918! (Luckily).

Did this record was released as a Diamond Disc format? I remember seeing the Diamond Disc played in Edison Museum (in Korea)...

[ReneRondeau]

Yes, this recording was issued both on Blue Amberol cyinder and Diamond Disc.
