Default Old photos

Here are two old photos of the skeet field at our old farm, probably in the 30's.

Do the doubles look like Parkers? The one on the right does to me. The three on the left look like Auto-5's

I see a Parker in the rack!

That is my Great Uncle Remer standing next to the rack. I have vague info he owned an A-1 Special and it would be something if that was it.

Great pics Mills. Are they shooting over old rice fields?

Yes, they had a rice field drained for the course.

Very nice old photos. Don't you wish sometimes you could go back?

I would have guessed the pictures were taken just after WWII. The brim of the hat is a clue as are the khakis. Great pictures! I would tear your Uncles house down looking for the A-1 Special.

I would tend to agree Harry. That brim is not the wider brim associated with the thirties, IMO.

No offense intended Mills.

the middle one looks more like a pump to me

far right looks like a Parker -i can see the shadow of the hinge pin

in the second from the right i don't see a forend latch, it looks like a snap on type - maybe a Sterlingworth?

A Remington "Sportsman, a Remington Model 11 (or maybe a Browning A5), a Remington Model 17, a smallbore ejector Fox with the snap-on/-off forearm and a Parker. Note the two-piece shell boxes sitting above the Remingtons. Winchester, Remington, and Western all transitioned to one-piece boxes around 1933-4 while Peters continued with two-piece boxes into the later 1930s.
