This all depends on what she considers "Victrola" records, Toot. - Actually "Victrola" is an RCA trademark, and was popular in the 1940's and early 1950's. (This is where the "RCA VICTOR" trademark was born). The records will be 78 rpm singles that are somewhat smaller than a 33 rpm album. They are NOT flexible like a 33 rpm albun, however, and are VERY easily broken.
If she wants a modest price, You could possibly hit a goldmine here, depending on the condition of the records, but I would inquire as to the speed at which the records are designed to be played at. If it is Not 78 rpm, they are not "Victrola" records. (You probabably need more info here).
