H & D Folsom Arms Co. Catalogue No. 18 lists their American Gun Co. guns as being made by H & D Folsom Arms Co. In the pages on the Baker Guns it says "The H & D Folsom Arms Co., Sole Selling Agents." The guns offered were Baker "Batavia Leader" Model; Baker "Black Beauty Special" Model; Baker Paragon Grade; Baker Expert Grade; Baker De Luxe Grade Double Gun; and Baker Single Barrel Trap Guns in Sterling Grade, Elite Grade and Superba Grade.
The two original Baker Guns pocket catalogues with the flying Geese on the cover that I have, which are dated 1923, only offered the Batavia Leader, Black Beauty Special, and Paragon Grade. The address given in these catalogues is 253 Church St., New York City?!? H & D Folsom Arms Co. was at 314 Broadway, New York City. The reprint of a similar catalogue that Lightner Library did back in the 1970s, is not dated, but also offeres the Expert and De Luxe Grade doubles and mentions the Superba and Elite singles. There is no address given in this reprint catalogue. Baker Gun Co. magazine ads from the late 1920s give an address of 314 Broadway, NYC.
The next H & D Folsom Arms Co. catalogue I have is No. 23, and the only Baker Guns offered are Batavia Leader and Black Beauty Special. Those remain the only Baker offerings in H & D Folsom Arms Co. catalogue No. 25, and No. 31 which is dated 1929-30. H & D Folsom Arms Co. Catalogue No. 40 which is dated May 1932, doesn't offer any Baker Guns at all.
