Victor Starffin Bromides

Having started a Victor Starffin collection, I've run into a number of bromides that just don't fit the sizes/descriptions in the guide. These are some of them:
Large Prize Bromide (6" x 7 7/8") - added 2/11/25
Similar to JBR 151b (1 5/8" x 2 15/16") - added 2/11/25
Similar to JBR2a: 1950 B&W Type 2 3rd Prize (2" x 2 13/16")- added 2/11/25
Similar to JBR 112: 1947/8 Pure Card - From the cutting miscut, you can tell that these 2 bromides had been printed on the same sheet, thus from the same set. (2" x 2 7/8") - added 2/11/25
Misc square bromide (1 7/8" x 2 1/8") - added 2/11/25
Similar to JBR2? (2 1/4"x2 13/16") - added 2/18/25
