The last  era of vinyl 78rpms can be easily distinguished just
because they are very  thin and flexible. But other type of vinyl 78rpms,
as well as very early  LPs, are not flexible and rather thick.
I've been wondering whether the  last era of thick 78rpms (late 1950s
to early 1960s, for example) are  actually made either of shellac
or thick vinyl.



I've seen some postings suggesting styrene rather than vinyl.  More  brittle, 
I believe.
