The etchings in your post reflect 3 different length cylinders; 6 -inch, 4-inch and 2-inch..  A few years ago, some examples of the 4-inch and 2-inch surfaced and can be seen in this photo, along with a reproduction sleeve for use on the mandrel.

Some of the rarest records in the world.  Thanks for posting, Rod.
