I had thought of small labels.
I was thinking of putting a code on each label then having a sign that
explains the code ie type of wood, finish and care.
One thought was a small label on a string. The string is attached to
the bottom with a small bit of hot melt glue

Hi William. Strictly my personal opinion, but to me most (not all of
course) price labels stuck on handmade work tend to cheapen it. That's
ok for both ends; the Dollar Store and Tiffany's, but IMO not the
in-between turned work by William Kossack (or any other turner)
regardless of how trivial a turned object might seem.
If you do choose to stick labels on your work, I suggest that the label.
be small, discreet, elegant and handwritten in small script...and barely
stuck on, maybe with a dot of rubber cement or a peeling type
adhesive made with a solvent that doesn't affect the finish. I suspect
that you can tell that my only experience with labels is that my wife
once worked for the Dennison company in Boston.
I'm hijacking your thread, but I hope it's ok to include other means to
indicate prices? ex: cards for your better turnings; HFs, bowls, etc
and grouped common prices for your rent payers; tops, needle cases,
etc.
Turn to Safety, Arch
