    Not in great shape. Found in a box of my parents stuff. Haven't been able to read the title. Any interest on this or turn it into a wall hanging? (joking)

    It's like finding a dodo, isn't it? Cutting edge technology, now extinct.

    It looks like the graphics are etched or impressed? Maybe try taking a rubbing?

    Wiped with a damp tissue and was able to read it. One side is Tenth Regiment March (R.B. Hall) Conway's Band. The other side is Kilawea Hawaiian Patrol (C.G. Stewart) Conway's Band. Ones in better condition are up for $10 on Ebay. Wall hanging it is!

    It's an Edison Diamond Disc record. The stylus floated horizontally over the record. It was the period between cylinders and 78 rpm's.
