Guest Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I just acquired one of these boxes. Anyone know anything about them? My guess is some kind of package deal otherwise why a box of 3. it is labelled as a Pardell folding box on the bottom.

phonogfp Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 These were introduced by the Pardee-Ellenberger Company in 1907, and came in sizes to hold 3, 6 or a dozen cylinder records. These remained available into the wax Amberol era. Here's an advertisement from the December 1907 issue of The Talking Machine World: George P. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melvind Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Here is my 3 cylinder box. A few years ago I purchased this at the Union phonograph show. There were a number of old new stock boxes still folded and had not been put together into the shape of the box. It is so nice it almost looks fake, but it is the real thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilvanstem Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Never saw one like shown but very nice. I have a little box from Thomas A. Edison, Inc. Orange, N.J. and assume it was meant for blue amberol cylinders. I know nothing else about my box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
