Title: Wanted: Bathe Mfg. Catalog or Scans (c1925)
Post by: Nick on April 08, 2021, 01:13:48 pm
Anyone got any Bathe Mfg catalogs or scans available? I only have reference to the single, I am looking for the twin (mine is 5/8” bore)

This is all I have on the company from 1928

Is there any way to hunt down buyers on the LiveAuctioneer platform, like calling the auctionhouse directly or similar?

If so i just found this 2018 completed auction for a 1922 Bathe´s catalogue.

If nothing else, the 5 pics gives you a bit more ephemera for the database, than your single page there  8)

Thank you Jan! I had not spotted that before, only this completed listing of the 1/2” bore twin:

I really doubt the auction house can give out any information like that as there are probably a lot of private collectors out there that would become very upset if that was done...

No, i am aware of that, just sharing that info would certainly stir a ruckus.
I was thinking more along the lines of them contacting the buyer, making him reach out to you, if he feels inclined to do so.
