I'm pretty sure it is a "one off" lacquer copy of an existing Bessie record.
Before tape and other easy copying technology, one could get a lacquer cut
of a rare or desired record that was hard to find.  I've got a  couple  of
classical things somehwere that were done by (if memory serves correctly)
the Gramophone Shop for a collector of classical music.
