Edison Blue Amberol 5199 – “When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along” – F. Braidwood (5000‑Series)

This listing is for an original Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series cylinder, No. 5199, featuring the upbeat popular tune “When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along,” performed by F. Braidwood. Issued during the final years of Edison’s cylinder production, this late‑period Blue Amberol release showcases the company’s most advanced molded‑celluloid technology—valued for its clarity, durability, and stability compared to earlier wax formats.

This cheerful 1920s standard captures the lively optimism of the era, with Braidwood delivering a bright, engaging performance typical of Edison’s final acoustic‑era catalog. As part of the 5000‑Series, this cylinder represents one of the scarcer and more desirable 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. No lid.
