    Default product differences for customers

    I sell two different types of product- small metal antiques and ################ of same.
    I'd like to figure out an easy way for customers to distinguish between the two in sections like "New Products", which randomly mix things up.
    It's easy for me to tell the difference (my work is shiny, and the antiquities aren't), but I'm sure that there will be confusion for some customers. I could remove the "New Products" section from the main page, but I think that its' presence helps sales.
    I could start each ############## product name with "##############", and each antiquity with "Antique", but I think the repetition might be a little much if you were browsing by category.
    Any suggestions?

    You could add a flag on the Products to mark them as such ... and then an icon can display with the prices to show who is who ...

    I've looked in Admin/Catalog, and a few other places, but I haven't seen where I could add such a flag/icon/logo.

    You would need to add a new field then customize the files for adding/editing ... to include the new field ...

    One of the easiest methods is to trace a field and follow the patterns of the admin files ...

    I'm currently thinking of adding images to the main page product names that might help spotlight the differences between the two types of products.
