Unknown Mermod Freres Cylinder Tunes

There is a brochure from "Heeren Brothers & Co.", jewelers, in 1896
who carried Mermod Products.  I carry this brochure for $12.50 plus
postage.  In it, among other things, is a listing of many (not all)
of the Mermod cylinders which were available at the time.

Interestingly, the numbers you gave come under three different
categories.  One is listed under "Piccolo", another under "Sublime
Harmony Piccolo", and the third under "Peerless Forte-Piccolo!"
I'll send you the titles separately, to your email address, so we
don't take up room on this board.

Enjoy,
