Although not a Parker shotgun, my Staff Assistant many years ago was on the search for a wood cook stove.
She had many found memories of her grandmother cooking on the stove in El Paso Texas. She tried to find out were it went but no one in the family could recall where it may have gone. She had a picture in her minds eye of it and did some research and found it was a pretty common Maker, Glenwood as I recall.
It took some searching but eventually she found one in El Paso. It was purchased and the professionally restored, including rechroming some pieces.
She never cooked on it but it but it sat beautifully in her ranch style home in the family room.
As suggested already join PGCA and as a member advertise you are looking for a VH made in 1908, you might find a 16 gauge made that year that was delivered in the local vicinity.
Moraima always referred to her stove as her grandmothers stove. Maybe it was but most likely not but it satisfied her desire and brought back great memories for her.
