Bought an old Edison cylinder once
Shit literally exploded in my hand

Don't even meme about this, kids

how???

Took it out of the packaging and it shattered in an intense way. Didn't even apply pressure to it, was just sliding it out of the wrap.

Was anything important recorded on it? It seems like the type of thing that should only be handled by professionals.

Is there actually an active collectors market for cylinders or are they too old and rare?

>>71129276
Don't remember the specific recording but it was like $5 at a garage sale. Don't forget that even though they're old and a piece of history those things were mass produced back in the day and literally no one cared about them until the whole 'steampunk' thing came in.

Just look it up on ebay, the market's oversaturated and too many people assume they're worth $20+ a piece just because they're old
