Skippy's self-amplifying record

The obvious joke about this being a proto-iPod will definitely not be made, but check out this self-amplified promotional record for Skippy Peanut Butter that makes noise courtesy of a fold-out cardboard horn and an attached needle (you have to turn the record manually with a pencil). The owner, a DJ at the legendary WFMU radio station in New Jersey, thinks this most likely dates from the 1950s.
