How catalogers merchandise a once-in-a-lifetime product

A Symphony of 2000 Flutes

On page 36 we see, at top left, Potpourri’s holiday cover star, which is also shown in a hot spot in the upper right corner of a page near the back spread. It is a hand-painted flute priced at $36.95 for two.

Continuing clockwise from there is Catalog Ventures Favorites’ offering: 18k gold accents on what appears to be the same flute. Featured on the inside front cover, the gift-boxed set of two costs $24.95. Notice the page proximity of 2000-shaped corkscrews.
