This listing is for an original Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series cylinder, No. 5157, featuring “Tamiami Trail,” performed by Dave Kaplan’s Orchestra. Issued during the final years of Edison’s cylinder production, this late‑period Blue Amberol release highlights the company’s most advanced molded‑celluloid technology, prized for its clarity, durability, and stability compared to earlier wax formats.
“Tamiami Trail” is a lively orchestral number inspired by the famous Florida roadway completed in the 1920s, reflecting the era’s fascination with modern infrastructure, travel, and regional identity. Dave Kaplan’s Orchestra delivers a bright, upbeat performance typical of Edison’s late acoustic‑era dance and novelty selections. As part of the 5000‑Series, this cylinder represents one of the scarcer and more desirable catalog ranges among collectors due to limited production runs and improved fidelity.
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‑period Edison cylinders.
