WANTED: Early 12" Prince's Orchestra discs of Waldteufel

Hello all -

I post infrequently here, so most of you would be unaware that I often look for early "house orchestra" records that few collectors seem to find desirable. I would be most grateful if someone on this forum could help me locate a very few, specifically some early 12" Columbia double-sided Prince's Orchestra discs and a Victor Concert Orchestra 10" that I have long, long desired. They are not intrinsically very valuable of themselves, I think, but they would be of great value to me. I am also always interested in Victor's discs of the Police Band of Mexico City, so if anyone here has some they would be willing to part with let me know, but these specific Columbias (all by Prince's Orchestra) and the one Victor 10" disc would go a long way in brightening things up for me:

A5122 - Pres de toi (Waldteufel)/ Sinnbild Walzer (Lincke)
(also released on UK Rena 158)

A5130 - Waltz - Militaire (Waldteufel)/ Scarf Dance (Chaminade)
(also released on UK Rena 159)

A5145 - Les patineurs/ Acclamations (both Waldteufel)
(also on later Columbia foreign series E5100)

and finally
Victor 5079 (or foreign 2-sided 62517) - Coppelia-Valse (Delibes)

The Waldteufels are what I'm really after, and I don't know where to look right now. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Waldteufel's music is pretty great & one of the lights among a 1910s-era record collection. I hope you can find these discs!
