An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record.
Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.
The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.
The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense.
It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.
In this case, the acetate was used to preserve recordings of live radio broadcast archives.

12" double sided metal based methyl cellulose lacquer acetate
featuring songs recorded for rare broadcasts from his 1953-55 radio
program 'To Be Perfectly Frank', featuring Frank with an unusual small
Jazz combo backing. Needless to say, being extremely fragile & also
over fifty years of age, this acetate is not mint, but is still perfectly
playable with just a few visible light surface scuffs & looks to have had
very little play. The labels are simple handwritten white. A very hard
to find item indeed, certainly one of only a few made & possibly
unique) )
