Greetings:
We at the Toledo Museum of Art have a pair of doors by Oscar B. Bach and in
our vertical file on the artist have photocopies of:
   Price, Matlack, _Design and craftmanshop in metals: the creative art of
Oscar         B. Bach_, New York [l938].
   INTERNATIONAL STUDIO, June 1926 p.?

There are also references to Bach in INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND DECORATION,
May 1931, pp.100-01; Alastair Duncan's _American Art Deco_, New York, 1986,
pp. 99-100; COUNTRY LIFE, vol. 50, May 1926, p. 110; and _Craft in the
Machine Age:1920-1945_, 1995, p. 132 & 278,note 69.

A similar pair was sold at Christie's, New York on March 24, 1990 (lot 14)
and apparently went to the Wolfsonian.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you wnat anything copied - I don't
guarantee the quality as some will be copies of copies.
