This Standard B is in excellent condition but I am amazed to see it go so high. I have seen a triumph with a wooden horn go for close to that price. The last time a different Standard A was on eBay the pin striping was totally gone, the seller described it as mint and it sold for $700. I thought it was in horrible shape, but the buyer did not agree and went by the description so I assumed he did not know what a mint one looked like. Steve

WHEN DE' CO'N PONES HOT Steve -- It is by Edward Sterling Wright, a black actor and lecturer who was well-known for his recitations of poems by another black American, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Wright only recorded three titles for Edison. I wish I would have seen that cylinder on eBay but I didn't. I need that one to complete my ESW collection.
