I bought these discs this week. But do not know much about record seals.

Hard to tell without seeing what is on the label. They look like classical records and are probably from the 30s or 40s. The His Masters Voice is a British label.

The one on the left looks like Beethoven piano sonata no 18, can't see the artist name though.

I'd also say they are 30's or 40's . They could be played acoustically, but not with the best results.

Not sure about the HMVs. The Brunswick in the background is certainly early '20s, as is probably the Polydor…

The Brunswick and the Polydor, maybe, are from the 20s. The Brunswick definitely is.
