I had one of those when child. It came as a token with certain brand of
cakes. They issued as much as 70 different records for that device. They
were small as 3.5" translucid one-sided soft vynil records, like the
filmophones but smaller, and they came in blue or pink colours. Each record
carried one speech monologue (10 seconds only) by a voice impersonating a
historic or mythologic character. (Ulysses, Aristoteles, Napoleon, etc.
etc).Nice deal. The records were given with the cakes, and the player can
be bought for a symbolic price.
