Bach Products Inc. Formal Invitation to a
Preview of Oscar Bach Designs at Rockefeller Center, August, 1938.
Patrons and friends opened their mail sometime in
mid August of 1938 to find this special invitation to Oscar Bach's opening at
Rockefeller Center. The invitation is a folio sheet of cream-colored paper with
a deckle edge. The cover leaf is printed in black ink and bears a silhouette of
the very tazza used on the cover of Matlack Price's updated booklet, Design
and Craftsmanship in Metals: The Creative Art of Oscar B Bach. The
invitation reads as follows:
