[Phono-L] Rare Edison Cylinder

Recently, there have been quite a few comments about Edison 4 minute wax  
cylinder #473, E. H. Shackleton's MY SOUTH POLAR EXPEDITION. Most collectors  
would rate this as the rarest of all Edison 4 minute wax cylinders. I have 
just  listed on Ebay what, I believe to be, a cylinder that is rarer than 
the  Shackleton cylinder. It is Theodore Roosevelt's speech (#1146) 
PROGRESSIVE  COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE. While Roosevelt's other three Edison recorded 
speeches  were later transferred to Blue Amberol (April, 1919), this 
recording was not  since the Progressive Party (aka Bull Moose Party) had faded into 
 oblivion.
