I have a very old record for sale. It is one of the very first flat disks - before this they used wax cylinders. Made by an American inventor Emile Berliner in September 1896
Writing hand scratched onto the record "Berliner Gramophone 2-9-1896  2651  Why did I leave my little back room sung by Mr Charles Foster London
I have not played this - I don't have the equipment and i wouldn't want to wear it out -  the surface looks to be in very good condition with one small scuff mark.

He founded the United States Gramophone Company in 1894, The Gramophone Company in London, England, in 1897, ..."

The song on it is called "Why did I leave my little back room" sung by Charles Foster in London - here is a similar recording of it online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVyq7pFMqZQ
There is a sale notice inside which may be where it has been sold previously.
It is in it's own timber box that protects it very well.
