Description

Historical, 7 inch Emile Berliner Flat Disc, Lateral Cut Recording dated 8/29/1899. Emile Berliner was the inventer of the flat disc, lateral cut record. With Berliner's invention, records could now be easily and cheaply duplicated in any quantity (It was not until about 1901 that Edison devised a shrinkage method for mass producing cylinders) Edison's invention could now be used as a cheap, mass entertainment medium in the home rather than just for dictation and coin slot, public entertainment.

This recording is "Uncle Josh at Coney Island" comedy made by Mr. Cal Stewart. The record number is: 048 and other label information is as follows: E. Berliner's GRAMOPHONE Patented Nov. 8, 1887  May 15, 1888 - May 6, 1890  Feb. 19, 1895 - Oct.29, 1895  Other Patents Applied For (The letter/numbers: a - 2 - U also appear in the label area) I'm not sure if this record is pressed on "Vulcanite" or "Duranoid" (Most likely Duranoid ?)

The sound quality is Awful and a recording such as this is preserved mainly for it's historical value. The record plays through well and is in Fair cosmetic condition for it's age with the following flaws: 2 cracks both from the outer edge in, one about 1 1/2" long and the other about 1" long. There are also two chips along the outer edge but not extending into the groove area.
