Mark Twain recordings

[oldwestphono]

I have been doing some research on Mark Twain and understand that a number of brown wax cylinders were recorded by the author.  Has anyone ever seen cylinders such as these?

Thank you, Art Heller

Bettini reportedly recorded Mark Twain, but evidently those recordings were never offered by him commercially.  I've not seen Mark Twain records in Bettini catalogs, and I've never heard of any surviving recordings of him.  Finding one would certainly be major news!
