Parker ad or calendar
 
Can someone direct me to the copy of the or calendar of the farmer with his Parker?
Thanks!

The "Tarnation" calendar with the old coot who blasted up his greenhouse shooting at a hawk flying off with a chicken?

Yes that is the one!

Dean Romig 09-15-2018 07:54 AM

I don’t know where you can get one.
I have one but I’ll be keeping mine.

Would you be willing to share a scan? Hoping to put something together on the “working mans” Parker for the pages!

Dean Romig 09-15-2018 08:45 AM

I can do that Rick.

It will be after the Annual Meeting - I've got my hands pretty full at the moment.

Best, Dean

Awesome! Thanks Dean! No rush on this end, I'm still piecing this together, now I have to work on a direction!

That "Tarnation" painting was done by William Harnden Foster and he painted a lot of similar situations with a Parker involved.

He had quite the sense of humor... In the third picture the neophyte duck hunter is using a .410 Parker and one of his oars has slipped out of the oarlock. All three situations were painted to allow us to laugh at ourselves.

Rick, A little late, but I have some of the "Tarnation" calendars. I can mail you one if you're still interested.
