The original packaging identifies it as an \"Extra Loud, High-Speed\" record, a style of brown wax or black-molded cylinder produced during the early 1900s. Columbia discontinued the production of new cylinder titles around 1909, opting to transition to the more commercially viable flat disc format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These phonograph cylinder records, commonly referred to as \"wax cylinders,\" initially featured a brown wax-like material. Later iterations utilized a harder \"black wax\" composition. The Columbia Phonograph Company, established in 1889, was a significant pioneer and key competitor to Thomas Edison's phonograph enterprise. They released \"black wax\" molded cylinders concurrently with their earlier brown wax versions after 1902.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The record is likely a standard two-minute design, intended for playback at a speed of 160 RPM. The label design, as depicted in the image, with the text \"EXTRA LOUD, HIGH SPEED,\" was a specific style produced for a limited period before the company's focus shifted entirely to flat disc records.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamoree’s Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42066646696045,"sku":"607161290861","price":14.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/9337\/2781\/files\/colcy.jpg?v=1768443993","url":"https:\/\/lamoree-s-vintage.myshopify.com\/es\/products\/columbia-gramophone-cylinder","provider":"Lamoree’s Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
