Humpfrey's 1913 Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address being played on a 1909 Edison Fireside Phonograph at the 2009 Memorial Day Parade Ceremonies in Hanson, Massachusetts. Pior to the Ceremonies and before the arrival of the Parade at the Civil War Monument & Town Hall Green, I entertained the Parade Spectators with Patriotic Music Played on both the Edison Fireside A, as well as a Standard D. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M71E99GEPCU I must say I was extremely honored & proud to do this. Many of the spectators and their children came up and asked questions, took photos, and were absolutely fascinated with the phonographs and delighted with the selections I played.

Could it have been drawn by the sculptor of the statuette? Has anyone ever seen this statuette before? ---------------------- Hi, The earliest known graphic of these two men laughing seems to date from 1884. At that time, there was no talking machine of course. But the title, A Capital Joke, goes back to ca 1880 (a musical operetta). And yes, the Graphophone replaced one of the men, probably late 1890s. Adaptive advertising was the rule of the day - even the famous painting of the Old Couple (Edison) replaced an earlier machine - a Puck! If you can send me a scan of the statuette, I'll look some more.

I used them last month to transport an antique stove for our kitchen. Not only did they do a wonderful job packing, but provided that delivery of the stove 500 lb. stove in our kitchen! If interested, let me know. They were also very reasonable! Brantley Williston, S.C.

Here's their website: http://www.forwardair.com/ This is a trucking service that specializes in ground transport from one airport to another. But I don't think they handle retail business. Some furniture and antique dealers have accounts with them, so you might check with a dealer to see if you can get connected with Forward Air. If you use them, you will have to arrange for the packing and crating yourself. Then Forward Air will deliver to the closest airport to you that they serve, and you'll have to arrange for pickup at the airport. But it's about half the cost of any other service I've seen, so it was worth it for me when I had a Victor 10-35 shipped from New Mexico to Charlotte, NC.
