I would assume that this was a place where you could purchase Edison Cylinders or phonographs. The only place from that era I have seen the word Edisonia is on the top of an early Edison Bell British Cylinder Gold Molded Record. Across the Top of the lid it says Edison Bell & Edisonia and at the bottom London Record. So I assume the reference is to Edison products. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron L" <[email protected]> To: "phon...@oldcrank. com" <[email protected]>; "phonol...@yahoogroups.
