PARKER LAMPS

[George Lander]

I have several Parker table lamps, some still in kerosene cofiguration and some that have been electrified. After reading the other thread about Parker vises I was wondering if there is any catalogue or reference material availamle on Parker lamps.

Best Regards, George

Yes George, beginning on page 919 of Vol II of The Parker Story.

That reprint catalog that is being sold on ebay might include lamps. I think it's the same catalog that was reprinted some years ago by one of our members. I own one but can't put my hands on it right now. I think I put it under something that I can't find.

Take a look at the Julia catalog listing the sale of Jim Parker's collection about three years ago. It took about an hour to sell his lamps after the gun collection was sold.

Best, Austin

Thanks Austin, that's where I bought some of the one's that I have.

Best Regards, George

Some examples here (http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_parker.htm) along with some historical information. The hanging lamps are "the most magnificent ever produced" somewhat akin to the guns. Such must have been the nature of our Mr. Parker.

I have the RAYO lamp. It was passed down from my grandmother to my mother and now to me. Mine has a dark red shade.
