This is a lot of three 78 RPM shellac records--with five sides of Roger Wolfe Kahn AHO and one side of Jacques Renard AHO--issued by RCA Victor (1926-1927).  These are two-sided, 10" records.  I can combine winning 78 RPM auctions, up to a maximum of ten records, for reduced shipping cost. Victor 19942 (1926), "Lantern of Love" b/w "Baby" (Very Good) Victor 20717 (1927), "Where the Wild, Wild Flowers Grow" b/w "Calling" (Very Good) Victor 22182 (1927), "If You're in Love You'll Waltz" b/w Jacques Renard "Following the Sun Around" (Very Good) I am not a professional grader but I try my best to judge condition using the VJM grading system: Excellent Minus. Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches. Very Good Plus.  An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. Very Good. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. Very Good Minus. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages.  Surface noise and scratches well below music level. Good. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. Good Minus. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. Fair. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
