Edison 4-minute Cylinder…”The Laughing Song”

Edison 4‑Minute Cylinder – “The Laughing Song” – Polk Miller and His “Old South” Quartette 

This original Edison 4‑minute cylinder record is in very good condition, showing clean, stable grooves and no visible damage. It comes complete with its original cardboard storage tube, an important detail for collectors who value fully intact examples.

Cylinder No. 2176 features Polk Miller and His “Old South” Quartette, a historically significant ensemble whose recordings were widely popular more than a century ago. Their work remains highly sought after today for its cultural relevance, strong vocal presence, and rarity in the surviving Edison catalog. This listing uses a stock photo for reference; the cylinder you receive will match the same quality and condition described. Authentic cylinders from this group are hard to find, making this a desirable addition for collectors of Edison phonograph records, Blue Amberol cylinders, and early 20th‑century American music.
