AFAIK, the later (194?) Hit Of the Week discs were the usual shellac 
records?
Also, note that the Durium operation (which survived inro the forties in 
Italy...
I own a laminated-paper disc from Italian "Durium" which seems to have
been intended as a "kiddie" record, probably issued in the late thirties
or early forties...?!)...?!

We can assume when the seller says " It's like a HOW record," he/she/it
means it is like a 1929-32 (and later in the UK) record...a plastic-coated
heavy paper record...?!
