Description
(2) Fitness Sets from the 1920s as pictured.
The Tunney folder is warped with some light wear and staining as picture but overall looks pretty good and contains (2) records with very nice shine. The first record has wrinkles behind the label indicating a possible internal stress line but otherwise in good shape. The second record has an edge flake just to the first few grooves and requires hand placement. Otherwise very nice gloss and play great.
The Camp set folder has some light wear and fading on the text but is in otherwise in ok shape. The records are in V+ or better condition with nice shine and play fine with background noise common to records of this era.
Interesting as display pieces or hey, maybe these exercises really have something to them!
No matter the price or number, records are always packed with extreme care.

GRADING
I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. 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
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. 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.
- G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable
