I've recently come  across a couple of 78 rpm talking postcards apparently 
sold at the Fort Myers  Edison site. One shows the "Edison Home" first 
prefabricated house. The other is  of the Edison Laboratory at Ft. Myers.

They are 3-7/8" x 5-7/8" with a  3-1/4" recording on the picture side.  The 
audio content is a detailed  description of the contents of the picture, which, 
of course, you can't see  while listening because it is spinning at 78 rpm! 
They were made by Charles  Products, Washington 3, D. C.

I'm wondering when these were made and how  many are were. I couldn't find 
much about them in a Google search, though it  seems many companies are making 
electronic talking postcards now.
