• Im own a 1916 Edison Phonograph, Model C-19, serial number 127478. I bought it about 10 years ago at a garage sale for $500. I have a Thomas Edison cylinder.
• Thomas Edison made his first sound recordings on sheets of tinfoil at Menlo Park, New Jersey in 1877. At West Orange, New Jersey in 1888, he developed a solid wax cylinder record. During 1896-1897, Edison organized the National Phonograph Company and began mass-producing cylinder recordings of music and entertainment.
• Edison Phonographs lend themselves very well to such a census as each Graphophone has a model name as well as a serial number, making each phonograph uniquely identifyable. To have this kind of data available to researchers would be a huge help. We would highly recommend that Edison owners enter details of their machines there.
