<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeremy Lopez, post: 11550565, member: 89807&quot;]Just looking back over this thread and also the article I&#039;ve just published, I realized that I should clarify something about the price (this goes back to the original posting): Baker himself, in a private letter written in the late 1930s, said that the Bar-ette retailed for $175. There is no price given in the Time blurb, but in a New Yorker ad from the same time, the price is given as $125. Thanks to Bronwen for cropping &amp; posting the close-up image just above. Again, if anyone on this forum has come across or comes across such an item, I would love to hear about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
