A friend of mine just brought over a box of cylinders that his son purchased at an auction. Among them, was a Columbia black wax 2 minute cylinder recorded by Joe Jefferson (1829-1905) noted stage and very early film actor from the 19th century doing a recitation from "Rip Van Winkle". I was trying to give him a hand establishing some price ranges on these cylinders but could not find anything by Jefferson selling recently. The cylinder plays very good. There is also some early black wax cylinders by Gilmore's Band in the Batch including wonderfully clear and loud, renditions of "Our Directors March", and the "William Tell Overture part 4" these were both in excellent shape. Does anyone have any idea what the value of these Columbia Cylinders would be? Thanks, Bruce
