Jeff this started in the late ;70's about the same time as the larger version. Don't tell Nellie but I just counted 25 pcs. Jeff did you get the goody box with the shot shells on the corners and the lamp with 2 guns? Roger

I had a mess of the Parker Bears; the little white Bear, wearing a ball cap and a bench vise on his sweater. Got tired of dusting them and ebayed them away.

Roger, As I stated before I have one of the ash trays. Do you know anything about these curios? Who made then and about when they were made etc.etc?

I have the lamp also bought it from Kevin McCormick. Also recently purchased a clock with Parker gun and duck. Similar in structure to the bookend I bet they all came from same manufacturer. The clock was made by lux.

Roger,
I bid on one of the two gun lamps, but didn't get it. I have a couple of the goody boxs.
I was told that this stuff was sold in ths Stoeger's catalogs, but I have never found any in the issues that I have. I must admit that I am in the same range as you in number of items.

The patent was issued to Edward Lynch of Manhattan, N.Y. on May 14, 1941. His application stated that he had invented an original and ornamental design for a lamp. I guess a good copy of a Parker gun qualified as original.

I've had a couple pieces over the years but let them go. Some of this stuff you guys have would be keepers if I ran across it. I bid a fortune on one of the lamp shades off one of the big sporting collectibles auction houses a few years ago and didn't get it. Oddly enough, it showed up again on their next sale. I didn't bid again......

P.S. The canvasback bookends, if you ever want to get rid of those......

There were at least two different lampshades on the lamps. I have seen the one with the flight speed of the birds at an antique show priced at $275.00. I didn't buy it and came back later and it was gone. I have the same lamp, but with a shade of the same dimensions but it has flying pheasants on one side and ducks on the other.
Like Destry said, if you ever want to part with the bookends......
