This listing features an authentic Edison 5000‑Series cylinder, a group highly prized by collectors due to their late‑era production and significantly lower surviving numbers. Presented here is Cylinder #5165, titled “Tie me to your apron strings again” and performed by Tennessee Happy Boys—a vibrant recording that reflects the character and musical energy of its time.
Because the 5000‑series was issued toward the end of Edison’s cylinder production, far fewer examples were manufactured, and clean surviving copies are increasingly difficult to locate. These later catalog numbers consistently rank among the most sought‑after by advanced collectors.
A standout addition to any curated phonograph collection and an excellent example of a hard‑to‑find Edison 5000‑series cylinder.
