Hi Bob and list, http://www.tinfoil.com/cm-0505.htm The Columbia Phonograph Company ran booths at both the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon. They made available tiny souvenir cylinder records, recorded on the spot. These records ? also known as napkin ring cylinders ? were the same diameter as standard two-minute wax records, but were a stubby 1.5" tall. Steve
