I'm not familiar with them. It would be a rare item.

A couple of us have old railroad watches and would like to replicate a Parker Gun Club watch fob

Great idea.
How about we replicate the whole club?
Real estate is priced right in Meriden.
Suponski could live there if we give him a generator.

We can get the polock a "unibomer cabin" outhouse and generator
and he can wax poetic like COB!!

The only things I've ever seen were membership buttons and some paperwork from the Meriden Gun Club. I know it was called Parker early on but I've never laid eyes on a single piece marked that way.

Thanks Destry. I met with Bill Mullins last week and he remembered seeing two,one in a collection in Meridan and one up there in Michigan?. The fellow who had one in CT has since died.

Pocket watches and old doubles seem to go nicely together...
