I am selling a VERY RARE cylinder from the ANGLO-ITALIAN COMMERCE COMPANY - Genoa - Milan -

of the tenor ENRICO CARUSO – 2 MINUTES -

 

Writings on the upper edge of the cylinder:

TENORE CAV. ( in italian cavaliere) ENRICO CARUSO

THE ITALIAN COMMERCE COMP' (sic!!) - without the word ANGLO... !!!

MILAN - GENOA

P.F. (Pathè Freres) 10201

(Pathè bought Anglo-Italian and distributed Caruso's cylinders)

84006

(in italian) Gli Ugonotti - QUI SOTTO IL CIEL DELLA TURRENA

THE HUGUONOTS - HERE UNDER THE SKY OF TURRENA

 

At the base of the hard cardboard cylindrical container:

(printed):

R. JAFORTE

VIA CHIAIA 31

NAPLES

 

(pencil):

(in italian) – Ugonotti – Qui sotto il ciel della Turenna ,,,(!!) - Tenore Caruso -

The Jaforte store in Naples was an AICC dealer, as in newspaper advertisement from 1905-

 

Conditions as in photo, as found, mold on the base, on the upper end and some spots on the cylinder, structure in good condition, without cracks or scratches.

Hello everyone, the asking price for this extremely rare Caruso cylinder is €2,000 (two thousand euros).
It's a very rare and unobtainable Caruso cylinder; it's not a Neapolitan song, nor is it an ocarina solo.
Good luck everyone.
