    I have a Russian 78 that's about 8.5".
    I have old German post card records, and post card records from the Seattle Worlds Fair (1962).

    Brown cardboard 78rpm Hit-Of-The-Week records.
    Time Magazine for the blind at 16 rpm.
    An aluminum record.
    Vogue picture discs (from the 1940s).

    Lots of cardboard records.

    I have some dirty magazines (mostly Velvet) from the 70s with records in them.

    Had a 78 of R Crumb's Cheap Suit Serenaders that was pressed in the 70s or 80s.

    Have an old one sided RCA 78 that has an elaborate design etched on the back.

    Lots more, kind of stuff that can be found at estate sales that have little value or interest.
    But I get a kick out of them.
