Is this a vinyl record (has a little flex and give to it) or an acetate (no flex and thicker than a modern record)? The acetate records are very fragile so please don't bend it hard as it will break.
Condition is key on any type of record whether vinyl or acetate. If it has lots of scratches and does not have the original sleeve then it has basically no value on the secondary market.
If it is in good condition with original sleeve and is a popular title it could be worth $2.00 - $30.00.

∙ 2011-01-03 04:00:04The original vinyl record was made of vinyl. The original phonographic recording was made by Thomas A. Edison on a wax cylinder.
Thomas Edison invented the Phonograph in 1877.
In 1888 and improved but ended in 1983 it was also invented by a guy named Emile Berlier. But ended because the Cd's were invented. ***Correction from another user*** in 1983 they did not STOP making vinyl, they still press vinyl to this day also The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison NOT 1888
Vinyl records replaced shellac records, which were heavier and costlier to produce. The record player was a more durable, portable version of the Edison Cylinder, which was the first mass-produced recorded audio format.

Originally, that's how Thomas Edison's method worked... they spoke into a horn, and the needle scratched grooves into the media. Similarly, they make the master of a vinyl record in the same way, as I understand it.

It is not a TELEGRAPH or a PHOTOGRAPH but a phonograph, an early form of the popular record players (turntables) that played music on vinyl records.It is on top of the first building (the Treasury) in Greece at 328 BC. Climb the statue to get to the roof. Return it to Thomas Edison at 1877 AD. This one has an actual recording of Edison's voice.
