These do sound like 78s to me, too. You won't see a speed listed on the record, since back before the LP there was only one speed. (Actually, speeds did vary really early on--the only way to know what speed to use is to know the label. Later it was standardized on 78 and there was no reason to list speed until the advent of the LP.)

I'm not sure what value these have. A lot hinges on how "important" a given performer is, and how important a given performance is. One possiblility--if these are 78s, you could view this as an excuse, er, opportunity to play with 78s. There are a lot of people very addicted to the 78 rpm record.
