NOTES:
[1] Undated shorthand notes on Merrin Gallery letterhead, provided by the Sackheims, describe the flute and give a sale price. A teller’s check shows that payment was made for this object, at least in part, in 1973. [2] The estate of Paula S. Sackheim first lent the flute to EPCOT Center in 1984; it remained on loan there until about 2008.
