Re:

Hi, jut a snippet of info, Ernie Boult's was in Stafford, and he was bought out by Witcomb's. He did sell some lovely frames, not 100% whether they were build in house or bought in. Terry

I have just finished my EA Boult
http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... 23&t=87348

supervised by the original owner.

I have buried in that thread some information I found about EA Boult
http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... 5#p1365672

and other known Boult frames. (click on the links in the thread.)

However, there may be more.
On Facebook at the weekend there is a possible Boult frame
hard to link but use this and then click on the X in the top right corner of the window and it should take you to the discussion

and a collector has one (in Germany) see that facebook thread, and a friend thinks a mate has a 1930s one, also in South Australia.

Philip,

Hopefully yes, as I have asked him to join Retrobike.

My Dad was a racing cyclist for RAF Stafford in the early 1950's. I will ask him about Boult's for you!

Thought that this may be of interest.From my collection of catalogues.

Thank you for providing this information.
It greatly contributes to the scant documentary record of this manufacturer.
If you come across any more , please add it.

Re: E A Boult

You are most welcome. Very pleased to have contributed. I shall certainly add more if I come across any. As an aside, I had school swimming lessons in Stafford Brine Baths in 1963 !
