There was indeed a 673 "Zampa" played by the Metropolitan Band - in the APM Lambert discography. But this would (probably) not have had a white rim, or such an early patent date. Perhaps it is a re-pressing of some kind, or a later plasterizing? Usually white-rim Lamberts have the three little wedges just inside. Can those be seen at the edge? What does the plaster look like - is there any writing inside the cylinder? Does the cylinder fit on a regular mandrel? Let us know what the spoken announcement says when u play it...
