Polyphon 19.5 cm Discs
By Kevin McElhone

As part of my research for my latest book on disc musical boxes 
I have found a _new_ size of Polyphon disc, 19.5 cm, or 7-3/4 inch,
with serrated edge drive as used on the musical Christmas tree
stands.  It looks like the center hole is 1/4 or 5/16 inch.

I list below the discs that have been found so far, from only two
sources.  I wonder if any readers can add to these titles please?

6201 Douce nuit, sainte nuit (Silent Night Holy Night) - SUSPECT number.
