Pertinent comments on production of guns at Batavia:

During these years, the gun-making part of the operation was gradually phased out and in 1919, it was sold to the D.H. Folsom Company of Meriden, Conn. (which merged with the Crescent Firearms Company).
The era of the Baker gun in Batavia had ended.
The Batavia factory was reorganized and turned exclusively to the manufacture of automobile parts. Daniel W. Tomlinson was named company president.




Pretty sure this is incorrect. Folsom had nothing to do with Meriden, Connecticut and there is a great deal of confusion between Meriden Fire Arms Co. and Crescent which was located in Norwich, CT
