Good afternoon! Just wanted to get a general idea of what the following Edison cylinder records might be worth; they are all in good condition and in their original orange containers with covers.
4M - D - 1 Happy-Go-Lucky Two-Step N.Y. Military Band
4M - D - 8 The Ghost of the Banjo Coon Arthur Collins
4M - D - 16 Flanagan Entertaining the Club Steve Porter
4M - D - 18 You're Just a Little Bit of Sugar Cane Joe Maxwell
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide me with!

I find it hard to give a value to anything because, frankly, it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it on the day. Then you have Insurance value vs. Auction value vs. retail value. Antiques Roadshow has ruined the way we think about these things. Just my two cents worth.

You might check some of the auction sites, such as Kurt Nauck's or Tom Hawthorne's: if they have any Special Amberols in good condition, you might look at what they post in the way of starting prices.
Otherwise, I would second billymurray's opinion: they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. If you are willing to put them up for auction on eBay or similar, post a relatively low starting bid and wait for the market to determine their value: if you are trying to sell them at a fixed price, that's rather more difficult.
