 Apparently, visitors to the Empire State Building could make one-minute recordings of themselves in coin-operated recordings booths. This site provides some background and a sample recording:

 Cannot date this, but web searches suggest dates ranging from 1938 - 1951.
My disc is made of steel with a lacquer coating, though it is also reported as being on an aluminum disc.
Don't really hear anything on my copy, recording is very quiet, and disc very worn.
