The guns in the display cases other than Parkers are as follows if I can remember correctly without refering to the photos that I took.
A couple of Aubry Single shots, a couple of Meriden Doubles, a higher quality Crescent And a couple of the Parker, Show & Brooks Rifle Muskets.

There was a very nice range of Parkers on display. Several Hammer Guns which included one of the first T latch guns made, a very interesting buttplate safety hammer gun and a top action with no rib extension "transition gun". I was impressed at the condition of the T-Latch gun. It was much nicer than published photos make it look. There was also a PH grade and a DH grade on display, along with others that I have not mentioned.
And not to mention the two Tripplet & Scot carbines that were donated by Jim.

I took several pictures of everything from the day. Will not be able to download them until Monday night when I get home or on Tuesday.

Thanks,
WOP

Here are a few more pictures of yeaterday's events. There's not much more that can be said about the day but I'll as short descriptions of the pictures.

1. Dave Suponski addresses the gathering at the East Cemetery's Parker plot.

2. Alan Weathers addresses the gathering with more Parker history.

3. The Charles Parker house as it is today.

4. The Charles Parker house before some previous owner decided "Victorian" was not the look he wanted.

5. I am told the Charles Parker house is in this picture but I don't know which one it is.

More pictures inside of the Charles Parker house. It was most recently owned by either Dexter or Wilbut... I'm sure someone will say which one.

1. Everything in the house which is not a contemporary item was made by one of the dozens of manufacturing companys right in Meriden. This mirror with candelabra was made by the Charles Parker Co.

2. Most all of these were made by the Charles Parker Co.

3. Alan Weathers and Jim Malone discuss some of the wonderful items in this vast collection.

4. Kathy, Dave, (please insert name), the very gracious owner of the house, and Tom Latham (Jim Kucaba's long-time friend) enjoying some special find.

5. Parker parlor stoves and a Parker kaleidoscope on its elaborate stand.
