Phono Cylinder: early Edison black two-minute cylinder record - Chinese recording - Chinese song

Hi. Welcome to our auction and thanks for visiting. We will be listing a few collectible Edison cylinder records today. We will be listing more records of different music genres in the near future. We hope you find something you like.

Edison 12765(?)
???
???
VG+ (chip on top of one end- not into playing surface)
Note: The cylinder record above is 2-minute.
Note: The cylinder record above is in an Edison case, though it may not be the original case. No lid.
Note: The cylinder record above does not have the title and artist stamped into the top rim. The number 12765 is stamped into the blank area near the very beginning of the playing surface. We played the cylinder, and there is an announcement at the beginning. Sounds like "Wong Hi" and then "Edison Records".

We wish we had the time to play every record we sell, but there are not enough hours in the day. The records we sell on eBay are visually graded. Here is our grading system:

M- almost no wear, near perfect. Rarely used, this is the highest grade given
VG+ very nice copy with minimal wear, mostly from play
VG nice copy, but with some minor wear from play and use
G+ good copy, but with some wear from play and use
G decent copy, but with more noticeable wear from play and use
F playable copy, but with more noticeable wear from play and use
P poor condition. Only an extremely rare record would be offered in this condition

One note on our grading: noticeable and possibly audible marks (scratches, scuffs, rub marks) will be noted after the condition grade, but only on records where the grade is G+ or better. Label wear, as well as stickers on labels, will also be noted separately after the condition grade.
