Edison Blue Amberol 5101 – “Thomas E. Watson” – Vernon Dalhart (5000‑Series)

 Collector‑Grade Edison Blue Amberol 5101 – Dalhart’s “Thomas E. Watson”

This listing is for an original Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series cylinder, No. 5101, featuring Vernon Dalhart’s performance of “Thomas E. Watson.” Issued during the final years of Edison’s cylinder production, this late‑period Blue Amberol title reflects the company’s most advanced molded‑celluloid technology—valued for its durability, clarity, and stability compared to earlier wax formats.

Dalhart, one of the most prolific recording artists of the 1920s, brings his signature tenor voice to this topical narrative piece. His recordings from the 5000‑Series era are especially desirable among collectors due to their historical context, improved fidelity, and limited production runs.

Condition: This cylinder is in very good condition, showing normal age‑appropriate wear while still presenting well for display, archival preservation, or careful playback. The celluloid surface remains stable, and the core is intact—key details for collectors seeking strong examples of late Edison cylinders.
