I just got a copy of the Fall/Winter 1985 Spiratone Photo & Vidio Accessory Catalog (No. 852). The list price for the "Spiratone Panorama Head" (order number 520950) is $18.95.

So many merchants give away catalogs they claim to charge for
that I can only conlcude that there is some kind of postal
regulation or something that prohibits them from mailing it
3rd class unless it carries a price. Or maybe they use the
phony price as protection against someone who writes and
says "gimme a thousand catalogs -- I want something to burn
in my fireplace and you said they're free."
