When was Strauss Waltzes first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1952, in US, Canada, South Africa. One of them is London Records LL 685.

How do I tell if my copy of Strauss Waltzes is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LL 685, LK.4054) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CA ARL1401-2A N MN CT 7 and CA ARL1402-2A BBM N 7. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
