It is  attached by a 
pin to a small card on which she wrote: "This foil was  printed by the 
'Phonograph' at the Normal School, Salem [Mass.], May  1876."  She also 
noted that it was demonstrated "by Mr. E. C. Balles  and Prof. Osborn." 
Any idea who Balles and Osborn  were?



---------------
there were a variety of such Exhibitors but in 1878 and later. '1876' is  
jumping the gun a little... the foil was patented by Edison's supplier.
