Source for data behind my edits of this article edit

The source for the revised birthdate and the daughter's names from his second marriage is Diann Wehmeyer Tooley's excellent work on the Milton Bradley family tree. Her records seem to be in order and based on census records vis-a-vis accuracy. JimScott (talk) 18:46, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Had to reverse the birth date change. Examining a photo of Bradley's gravestone more carefully yields the fact that he was born on the 8th! I've already contacted Diann in regard to her page. C'est la vie! JimScott (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Lithograph Bradley Made edit

Anyone able to get a copy of the lithograph that started Bradley off, and put it on Wikipedia? That'd be awesome. 98.246.101.183 (talk) 23:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Milton and Bradley (sic) Paper Cutter edit

There's a reproduction of a photographic equipment catalog from about 1920 at http://www.piercevaubel.com/cam/catalogimages/gennertfinishing2ndc1920lp033-18-19-small.jpg which shows the MB paper cutter. The prices ranged from $1.67 for the 6-inch model to $44.34 for the 24-inch model. The tagline was "Remember -- If it isn't a Milton Bradley -- it's not a cutter -- it's a trimmer." They refer to the maker variously as Milton Bradley, Milton-Bradley, or Milton and Bradley in the accompanying text: looks like they couldn't make up their minds which was correct. 108.5.194.159 Shalom S.

Missing word(s)? edit

"When he attempted to print and sell copies of the presidential nominee Abraham Lincoln..." Perhaps "images of" is missing here? Dgorsline (talk) 23:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Links for Patents edit

Any help with the patent coding is welcome. I found them in Google's patent search, but the links all go to Espacenet. That seems to be the Wikipedia default, but Espacenet doesn't have a record for these patents. I am not entirely sure how to fix them or if I should bother. --LibraryGurl (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
