I've got a whole bunch of 10" RCA Victor educational series records 
that are red background/gold print in the 45-5000 series that are 
slightly bendable & say non breakable on the labels. I suppose it's 
some sort of vinyl or maybe a vinyl mix but then I have no idea. They 
are about 1949/49 to early 50's vintage I'd guess.
