Cursive Script/ Hand-written style etching just above the record hole "Will. F. Denny"
then there is an 'I' and and a couple of other etchings that look like numbers I cannot make out and a "-II"
----
Condition:
I have listened to record and it plays through fine without skipping. There are a few clicks heard. As with most Berliner's - there is obviously some surface noise and level of hiss.
As with most Berliner's from the 1890s, this one shows small scratches, scuffing, handling and some groove wear. There are some some minute divots in the grooves. Again, this is all pretty standard wear for these records.
I have been a collector for many years now and have carefully cleaned all of the discs to the best of my ability, however---you may choose to give it another cleaning -- as a record of this vintage may need it. Please see photos for more detail.
-----
German-American inventor Emile Berliner invented the first circular, non-cylinder, playing discs with recorded sound in the late 1880s. These black, circular platter-like discs are more commonly known as records.
By 1895 he had financing available for the E. Berliner's Gramophone Company, which produced the discs from 1895-1899.
These historic recordings, which are now over 115-years old or near that-- are considered extremely rare, with some being one-of-a-kind recordings due to the process in which they were primitively recorded and duplicated.
