I have books on Edison and EBA records, but nothing on these. The boxes say: Everlasting, Indestructible, Oxford, Columbia. The records, however, look VERY similar. > > They have a flat top, are either 2 or 4 min and with different boxes. The only differences I see in the records themselves, is in the way the patent date is written: > PAT'D. July 29,'02 > PAT. July 29, 1902 4M (the latter I'm sure means a 4 min record...it's in a 4 min labeled box) > > Since they are in different boxes, I don't know which is which, or whose. :) > Or are they all RELATED?? > A couple have tops which correspond to boxes.
