Besides 7" 78 RPM kiddie records, there was a record company
called Bell Records that released 7" 78s in (I think) the
1940s and early 50s.  Also, some of the earliest disk
records made in the 1890s were 7", and 7" records were made
into the early 1900s, although they'd pretty much disappeared
by the time the gramophone became popular.  If it's one of
these it could be worth some bucks.  Speaking of oddball
sizes, Victor also made a few 14" "Monarch" records around
that time, and Pathe' made all sorts of weird diameter
disks with their proprietary wide, vertically molulated
groove, including some 20" ones for theatrical use that
played at over 120 RPM.
