Factory painted or not, I think it looks nice. If I wanted a gem, I would
buy it, if the price was right

Wow what a thread. I have a beautiful branded case gem, mint even with the
recorder. I also have some decals from the 50's that are flowers. I'm
willing to paint the whole thing black and add the flowers to the case and
horn. I will throw in a very early Edison Gem horn that has no decal but

While we agree that it is highly unlikely the paint was applied at the
factory, the paint is good
Edison did offer special decoration but that was usually on the metal parts and
not on the cabinet. I tend to think some amateur did this, though it is very
nice.

I believe it was not done at the factory. Usually the factory would put special

this.

He is also correct, it is original paint. It is not a copy of paint, it
is original paint right out of a can and/or tube
Body and case are wood, painted black. Edison did not paint cases and lids
black, especially covering his trademark decal on the lid. This did not come
from the factory like that.

Never mind that there are three others on ebay right now priced at around

As far as he knows is a very loaded statement. In other words within the realm
of his knowledge. He is either a cheat or knows very little.
