[78-L] DD metal parts

[Sean Miller]

Hey guys,

I have a vinyl pressing (from the metal stamper, of course) of Didur's voice
trial for Edison from 1912 or 13.

A single (1970's?) vinyl pressing of two 1915 Norwegian Pathés (by the
legendary Wagnerian opera singer Ellen Gulbransson), that's all I've seen,
or heard of, in 25 years of collecting. No idea if the Edison National
Historic Site has any Diamond Disc metals; they do have a number of
never-processed wax masters, some of which were transferred successfully
with a lightweight stylus directly off the wax in recent years. All other DD
transfers I know of are from pressings.
