Hello, my name is John Taglione. I came across your webpage while researching some edison discs I came to obtain while cleaning out an estate of an relative in upstate new York I was hoping you could shed some light on the discs as far as age. history, value etc... I have 4 discs which i will describe, condition of each in my humble opinion is good with some scratches and blemishes. All of the discs have pressed labels not paper labels with portrait of Edison and his signature, 3 of the discs his protrait is in a shield one it is not. I thank you in advance with any help you can give me. Thank you, John Taglione
