Have not seen that photo before. Only the one that is in TPS, which is post blaze. That is a different angle of the building than shown in drawings of the period.

I don't remember where I got that picture anymore. It was on the web and I saved it.

Yes, me as well. It was a good number of years ago.

Regarding Parker vise trade catalogues, last week the UCSB Romaine Trade catalogue collection in Santa Barbara sent me the details of their vise catalogue holdings, which they just processed with bibliographic information. http://www.artdesigncafe.com/charles...ses-catalogues . I'm not sure, but there may be new finds not seen before.

Robert, that 'Aero View....' map of Meriden is available from a seller on ebay. It's a pretty high quality reprint, and most every street name is legible. It's about 16" x 20"

Cool. Thanks. I'll check it out. We compiled some Meriden maps (1884-1919) here: http://www.artdesigncafe.com/meriden-ct-historical-maps. Some show the Parker companies all over.

JJ, the 204 shares patented features with many models, but it didn't come out until 1923. It cost $17. A lot of iron for not much money.
