Here's an 1896 Berliner Gramophone recording of Graham Graham reciting "Talk On Money." The record comes with what appears to be its original paper sleeve. 
Condition is good. Plays through with normal Berliner era surface noise, but there are no skips or repeats, and the music is clear throughout the recording. 
The sleeve is in good damage, with its flap still intact and no damage to the paper. Printed on the front, in the same style script as the script that's etched onto the record, is the title, "Talk On Money."
Overall, a nice early recording, with a very nice sleeve, and a unique piece of recorded sound history.
