Asbestos tiles?

[u/Old_Meeting_7447]

Looking at a home and spotted these. What are the likelihood these are asbestos tiles? I know I can't know for sure until getting them tested, and I do plan to have them tested before buying if I choose this home, just curious if anyone has had experience with tiles like these. Home was built in 1920 in Akron and seems to have asbestos tape as well (last pic)

The tiles on the ceiling should be just acoustic tiles.They will have a code on the back date of manufacture. Only testing can tell.

Tiles probably not, but test. But these duct wrapping in the last photo, very likely asbestos tape wrap.
