Charles Products was still in business as of 2002 circa. They make museum type merchandise such as mugs, etc. If you need an address, I can probably get it for you. I was a retail accountant in a former life.

	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.
