The data on the recording itself, from http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.ph ... ctor_31258:
Matrix C-1521 take 2 6/27/1904
Washington Post march / Victor Dance Orchestra [i.e., Pryor's Orchestra]
I've never seen a Canadian Berliner, but from what I understand about that brown shellac, it used less abrasive than typical Victor material, so one of these in good condition is indeed a find, and a mint or near-mint one should sound very good due to the lower abrasive content.
