Parker gun lamp and hang tags
 

I thought afew of you may be interested in my Parker Gun lamp. I bought it from an antique dealer in Wheeling, Wv about 15 years ago. He stated that it had originaly come from the gun room of Abercrombie and Fitch. As you can see it has the Parker hinge pin, and really does look like a Parker. The lamp does work and is in my den.
I also enclosed pictures of the hang tags from my 16 VH Parker. I dont know how common it is to have these particularly on lower grade guns.

Here is what the original lamp shade looked like.

When I still owned a '0' Grade Lifter, #10250, I was surprised to know that the original order tag was still available. I am awaiting a letter for my 1886 vintage 1/I Grade. I have learned to expect the unexpected with Parkers. Cool lamp!

Thanks for the feedback guys. There was no lampshade when I bought the lamp. What do you think of the claim that it came from the gunroom of A&F?
The hang tags are from my VH 16 which is generally the gun I carry when hunting.

The lamps come up on ebay on occasionally. It may have come from the gun room, but I believe they were something that was ordered from a mail order catalog. There is also an ashtray that used the base and shotgun.

The lamp's ok

But I do like the shade

Jeff, I have one of those ashtrays. A nice conversation piece.

Parker Bros. was in the hardware / home furnishings business as well as the gun business. Some of the items that they sold thru their catalogue were lamps. I have several that I purchased from the James Parker collection. None that I have, however, are in the shape of a gun.

Best Regards, George

And there is another smaller version of lamps, bookends, goody boxes and ashtrays..Roger

Roger,
I thought I was the only one that collected all of those things. I have never seen the big duck bookends.
