Busy Bee Cylinder Record #216 "Die Wacht Am Rhein", Box and Slip RARE!!

Description

Collectors, here's a rarity for you: a Busy Bee cylinder, box with lid, and the original slip!!  This is record #216, the well known "Die Wacht am Rhein".  I am unable to play the record, but it looks to be in good shape, the flash photography makes it look worse than if you saw it in person, it is an amazing survivor from circa 1907!!
Busy Bee machines were made by Columbia, and most of the cylinders use Columbia masters.  Busy Bee was a "premium" or giveaway machine.  The "catch" is that the cylinder is just a bit wider than Edison or Columbia cylinders!  So, you can put the Busy Bee cylinder on an Edison or Columbia machine, but it will not play well on one!   There are quite a few Busy Bee cylinder and disc phonographs out there, but the cylinders are quite scarce, the owners of Busy Bee cylinder machines apparently did not purchase many cylinders past what they were provided initially with the machine.  There are a few other eBay auctions for Busy Bee cylinders out there as I post this, check out the wacky pricing for them.  We will have fun and start this out at a very low price, join the bidding!
Shipping to USA addresses only.  .50 first class mail postage and fees, I will ship cylinder in a new box.  Please pay within 24 hours of purchase and I will leave you positive feedback when I ship the cylinder, your positive feedback appreciated!  See my store for more cylinder records, I will combine shipping if you buy more than one, and thanks for looking!!
