Edison Blue Amberol #5013 – “Ben Bolt” – Frank C. Stanley – Rare 5000‑Series Cylinder

 Rare Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder #5013 – Frank C. Stanley – “Ben Bolt” 

This is an original Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder Record, part of the highly desirable 5000‑series, which represents the final phase of Edison’s cylinder production. These late‑run titles were manufactured in much smaller quantities, making them notably scarce and highly collectible among advanced phonograph enthusiasts.

This example is Blue Amberol No. 5013, featuring Frank C. Stanley performing “Ben Bolt.” The cylinder is in very good condition and includes its original Edison box, adding both protection and historical value. Because the 5000‑series was produced toward the end of Edison’s cylinder era, surviving examples — especially clean ones — are increasingly difficult to find. A stock photo is shown for this listing; the cylinder you receive will be in similar condition unless otherwise noted. As always, if you have any questions or would like additional details, feel free to ask.
