My next set of scans is for Set007, which is a solo shoot on exactly the same studio set as Set705 "Soda Shop Slurp" that I scanned previously.
This is from the December 1997 issue of "Men Only", Volume 62 Number 12. It also advertise the photographer as Jack Harrison, so it is reasonable to assume the same photographer also shot Set705.
As well as splicing together the photos split across two pages, I also had some fun reconstructing the background of one of the photos that has a chunk taken out of it. See if you can tell which one without cheating and looking at the full-page photos!
No new photos for the catalogue, but significant updates to the existing scanned photos.
I searched with Google on wonderclub.com, but all I found with Sylvia and Jack Harrison were two issues of "Model Directory" that do not match the page layout of your set (2 double pages plus one single). Wonderclub.com is not complete, though, not in their descriptions and not even within the volumes, because some issues are already sold out.
My scans of Set007 came from "Men Only", Volume 62 Number 12, which I believe is from December 1997.
I found some references to "Sylvia" appearing in Men Only Volume 62, Issue 12, but couldn't find anything to confirm it was this set on Wonderclub or MagazineEmpire etc.
However, I found this on eBay (click image to go to the auction page):
Still no info, but I contacted the seller and he kindly sent me a photo of the contents page:
I'm so pleased, I might even buy the magazine (again)!

Did you see my note on the which copy of Men Only my previous scans came from? Mystery solved.
Good that you mentioned that, I would have overlooked it. Actually this magazine is missing on wonderclub.com, so it is no wonder that I could not find there any mention of this set.
Thanks Spike. Very good work. Just something I don't understand : she is 'Petra' in this Velvet 1998/1, when her name is 'Lena' in Velvet 1997/11 (set 448) and again in 1998/04 (set 725). Why the hell did they change her name for this issue ?
Are you sure these scans are from magazine Velvet ? I have them (low quality) with no magazine reference

Another clue confirming this set is from Velvet Jan 1998.
According to the Wonderclub details, the "Petra" set is subtitled "Teutonic tart" and the text in the full page scans says "When Petra came to the U.S. from Germany...". This ties the two together because Teutonic means "typical of or related to the German people" (see https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/teutonic).
Why they changed Silvia's name will remain a mystery, however.
My first guess would have been that "Teutonic tart" means https://untappd.com/b/bierstein-brewing-teutonic-tart/3903310 or https://untappd.com/b/willoughby-brewing-co-teutonic-tart/2203016 . But thanks to your fine scans I am now feeling able to recognize the difference.
