Eastern Daylight Time, ger55 at comcast.net writes: First, Why is there a patent date of 1902 on ALL of the records ============= The July 29, 1902 patent (by Messer) is explained in detail in PHP. It was originally used on Lambert celluloid cylinders, and then migrated over to the Albany Indestructibles (Oxford too). Those were first placed on sale in Nov 1907 and lasted until around 1922, when the factory burned down. Do not confuse them with US Everlasting's which had a different patent (Varian Harris) and no metal rings inside. Those were sold from 1910 - ca. 1914, also in both 2 and 4-min types. The Lakeside brand was used by Montgomery Ward. Allen _www.phonobooks.com_ (http://www.phonobooks.com) **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
