Description

Brown wax cylinder recorded by the Columbia Phonograph Co. of New York, featuring the baritone solo “It’s What You Are” (catalog #29303) performed by A. Farrell (often associated with Bert Morphy). Included with this fragile survivor is its exceptionally rare original paper title slip from Columbia Phonograph Co. The brown wax cylinder remains structurally stable with no deep cracks, showing some mold spotting, and light age-related cloudiness typical for organic wax of this era, while the original paper slip shows light creasing but remains fully legible under protective plastic. H 4.25″, W 2.5″, D 2.5″. Please see photos for condition. From the Allen Koenigsberg collection.
