Wow! That is so cool... It looks to be a copy (if not the original) first successful pressing. I wonder what is on it? If I bought it, I could not resist putting it into a caddy and playing it, more than likely ruining it in the process LOL! Therefore, I will just sit back and watch.

The VideoDisc in that frame is "Lum Fong," and it contains a portion of an episode from the "Get Smart" TV show. There was a featured CED on it a few years ago:

The disc would not be playable on production CED players, as it's metallized, and the groove geometry is different.

Are there any prototype players out there?

I'm not aware of any "February" players, but there are a few of the later model prototypes in collections and museums.
