I came across a roll made by the Melographic Roll company in Buffalo,
New York.  On the box it says it is an 88-note, numbered 0524, it has
the name M. Moszkowski, it says form foreign parts (Hungary), Op. 23,
No. 6. Key of D.  It says on the roll the same, but also has a stamp
of some kind indicating it is from the Melographic Roll Co.  It also
says, further in, "Patented U.S. May 17, 1910 Foreign patents pending."
There is also a 75 in a circle.

If anyone has anything else interesting to share I would appreciate it;
I'd like to know what kind of history I have.

Thank you,
