Wanted, Wax Amberol "Special K"

[Fran604g]

Hey all,

 

I just dropped my only copy of the 4-minute Wax Amberol "Special K" Peerless Minstrels - by The Peerless Quartet while dusting -- and I made it explode.

 

I would like to replace it if any of you have one to sell at a reasonable price. It is one of the "demo" Amberols that the Edison Co. supplied to customers who purchased the 4-minute attachment to upgrade their 2-minute Phonograph. I have the original box and lid, so if yours is in a mismatched box, that's okay provided the record is in Very Good to Excellent condition and very well protected for shipping. 

 

For shipping, it will need to be double boxed. The record will need to be carefully stuffed on the inside with paper or bubble wrap, (preferably placed in an appropriate fitting cylinder record box or other protective tubing) surrounded by lots of bubble wrap, snuggly but not tightly fitted in a rigid box that's also wrapped in lots of bubble wrap, then placed into another larger sturdy box; the two boxes should have adequate space between them (at least 2 inches on each side, top and bottom) so that they do not contact each other!

 

We all know the routine by now. Wax Amberols are very fragile and need special attention for shipping to succeed without catastrophe! 

 

DM me with any details.

 

Thank you,

Fran Pratt

Gee Fran, if I had an extra Special K, I'd give it to you.  I have some of the others, but not Special K.  Sorry!

 

Good luck with your search.
