This small leather-bound in which song titles and associated index numbers appear was discovered in an outbuilding at Uranienborg in 2015. To what the index numbers refer is unclear. But it is believed that the titles and catalog numbers in the book refer to a commercially-issued Edison ‘Diamond Disc’ records produced by Thomas Edison’s laboratory about 1920. The printing on the front cover reads,
