This page an example of Ventura instruments available from Kaman Music Distributors in 1982. Click any image to enlarge. I think these may be from the era after they were putting the "Designed in the U.S.A. - Crafted in Japan" logo stickers inside the soundhole of the acoustic guitars. However, This was well after Kaman Music Distribution (Ovation fame) had bought out C. Bruno and Sons. The Ventura brand name didn't last much, if any longer, As I bought a brand new imported-from-Korea Acoustic guitar from a Kaman dealer about a year or two after this catalog was published. They were no longer selling "Ventura" guitars, and had replaced them with a brand the labled "Castilla."
