Default Memorabilia Parker Gun 1912 flying duck

Hi i am new to this site, as I was going through some old family treasures and came upon this catalog
The Parker Gun


I have a Flying duck 1912 catalog.
I am looking for any information or interest in this item. I have found a picture of it in the memorabilia catalog that only says it is rare and $650.

Value all depends on condition. If in top condition I would say $325. Is more realistic.

Send us a picture. I can't find any catalog information on this site. It's probably here but not too accessible. A 1912 catalog in high condition is worth a few bucks more than $325. Sorry, just my opinion.

Please post pictures of the cover as well as something showing it is from 1912. It's cover sounds like the 1916 catalog on page 756 of Volume two of the Parker Story. If it really is a 1912 catalog, then it is fairly rare, since when Louis Parker and I provided the information for the chapter on Parker catalogs in the Parker Story, neither one of us had that catalog in our collections

The Board of Directors should do something about this type of subversion of forum rules. We see it often and there is a simple fix: no private messaging for "forum associates."

Why would he get so many PMs if he has a 1916 Flying Ducks that he values at $650? By the way, TPS describes it as a "Flying Geese" catalog. Those are ducks, not geese. The poster must send a picture is he wants to sell it on this site. I agree that non PGCA members should not have PM privileges on the For Sale subforums. By the way, what is the catalog that Mike Kobos describes that is not in TPS?
