This just goes to show us that there are still treasures waiting on us collectors. I It's just a shame that the member did not buy a lottery ticket the same day. The powerball jackpot was well over $200,000,000.00! As always, keep the speed limit at 78...rpm that is! Brantley (Laughter) It's funny but I think along lines like this, too. If your luck is really good, buy a lottery ticket right away! Hahahaha! And now, when you consider it, if these "rare" machines keep turning up like this the value will plummet and we will find ourselves choosing between them.

Your suitcase sounds neat! :) What holds the records in when you open the case? Is there some kind of hinged flap??

I believe the paperboard box was supplied to the customer who purchaed the early cylinder records which were sold with a record slip. The Record slip contained a circular section containing the name of the song and artist and the customer was encouraged to cut this out of the record slip and paste it onto the top of the cardboard spindles in the box so the record could then be easily identified. I believe the numbered suitcase style box came later, after cylinder records were made with the name of the selection and the artist and record number embossed or stamped around the top edge of the cylinder. I have a very unique "double sided" spindled suitcase style cylinder storage container that can hold up to 72 Cylinder Records, 36 on each side.

I'm guessing that that must have been a salesman's case? **I've also got a paperboard box bottom (only) fitted for 12 records (waxes are in there now on paper cones), which is black, and has an old big white label on the end with lines to list the records. Would that have been one way they were shipped to stores? With no boxes??
