Six Inch Columbia "Twentieth Century" Cylinder
"O Dry Those Tears" by Henry Burr #85119
42. The "Twentieth Century" cylinder was introduced in July 1905 and offered for three years afterward. This extra long cylinder increased playing time to about 3 minutes, but since a special phonograph with a 6 inch mandrel was required to play it, these cylinders had fairly poor sales. The record is in good condition with the exception of some surface noise during the announcement and the first 15 seconds of music. The rest of the cylinder plays loud and clear with no significant wear. There are no heavy scratches, cracks or moldy areas. The only other defect is a small chip on the title end that does not come close to the grooves. The box and lid are also in good condition, although the number stamped on the lid does not match the cylinder. If you're fortunate enough to own a phonograph that plays "Twentieth Century" cylinders, this one will be a fine addition to your collection.
