Odd 88-note Music Roll With 1-1/4" End Flanges
By Dale F. Rowe
Dear John, Greetings from The Bronx! When you say 1-1/4" flanges, do
you mean width or diameter? If you mean diameter, then that might be
a 'Little Wonder' piano roll. I believe that was the smallest diameter
rolls manufactured. Nothing really to rave about -- average music
arrangements, but very short. As for collectability, that depends on
whether or not there's really a market for them. There's probably at
least one collector somewhere collecting them.
They were probably manufactured by the same company that marketed the
Little Wonder Phonograph. This was a small scale phonograph that played
it's own petite records. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Dale F. Rowe
Bronx, New York
