Combined spectral energy distribution curves of six Ae/Be stars (BD+61 deg 154, AB Aur, V380 Ori, HD 259431, ZCMa, and BD+40 deg 4124), five peculiar shell stars (HD 31648, HD 45677, HD 50138, HD 163296, and HD 190073), and the peculiar central object in the Red Rectangle nebula (HD 44179), obtained with the IUE and a variety of ground-based optical and infrared telescope systems, are presented, covering the wavelength range of approximately 1300 A to 12.5 microns. The observations are reviewed, and include ultraviolet observations, low-resolution absolute visual spectrophotometry, moderate-resolution relative visual spectrophotometry, and infrared photometry. For most of the objects the ratio of the flux deficiency for lambda equals less than 1 micron to the flux excess for lambda equals greater than 1 micron is approximately unity. Only two of the objects (AB Aur and HD 163296) possess a strong emission feature at 9.7 microns, while one other (HD 31648) may have a weak 9.7 micron emission feature. Most of the objects have a broad, smooth, infrared emission curve resembling those seen in some WC stars. It is concluded that the dust surrounding these stars may be different from that seen in the diffuse interstellar medium.
