Gents, Finally got a chance to go outside in the sunlight to do some photo experiments. Boy am I rusty. I miss my SLR. ;D This one's cool, I never saw one of these, that I can recall, before I opened the box of cylinders I just got. I forgot to bring the black one down front. This is one example of all the different boxes I have excepting the black one and the different varieties of orange boxes. I just got a box of BA's and they came in mostly 2M wax boxes and the "Blank" and a few green wax Amberol boxes. I'll list some of the better ones soon. Regards, J.

Very nice J. There's a couple there I wouldnt mind having. Is that red 35c Columbia a 2min box? I don't have either columbia. I only just got my first Oxford a week or so back, but it's a 2 min record, so I'll take that 4 min box too thanks ;D The Blanks box is a good looking box I think too. Much nicer than the orange version.

John, congratulations on having accumulated those boxes so quickly! A religious person might say that those wonderful cylinder boxes constitute.......an occasion of sin!
;D Rocky

Rocky & Shane,
Thanks for the kind words. Rocky, three guesses where all but the bottom three on the right came from. ;D The Indestructible and two Columbia's I've had for years, even before I got into the hobby. I bought them at a flea market. I do like the art work on these boxes, even if I never move toward wax cylinders I would like to collect some of the boxes.
BTW guys I've started to build up a small collection of phonograph adverts. I will try to get my scanner up and running to share them with you.
Regards, J.

Nice little collection there, John. I'm going to have to rummage around and see if I have any to add to your collection. Bill

Is there a place that has photos of all the Edison 2 M boxes with dates? The blue blank boxes are the earlier ones, they were blue before the lined boxes came out and after.

Steve, Phil O. has some on his site on the boxes page Any idea how many there where? We may be able to assemble a archive of most if not all of them right here. Regards, J.
