I'd sure like to see one assembled so we would know how they all went together. The raised, gold painted borders don't even match.

Dean, the skeptic....

This isn't a Charles Parker, but it's good enuf so you get the idea.

An Umbrella stand with a Bear would go right well with a Parker motif.

Grip them umbrellas like a grizzly.

Maybe the pads are from two different models of umbrella stands. One with a single large tray and one with two small trays. Or maybe just a small model with a single small tray. ???

Edgar is spot on. The 2 small pans were for a wooded hall tree and the bigger one i believe is for a cast iron stand where the support shaft came up through the half round cut out. I found this advertisement but the picture was expired:

"Halltree walnut with burl veneer accent panels. Has original Parker cast iron drip pans. White marble over drawer, 7 turned walnut hat hooks. RARE Columbus crest made of union thermoplastic or gutta purcha. Measures approx 1'' deepest, 3'' widest and 7'' tall. Fancy scribe carved finial tops off this wonderful piece of Victorian furniture. Fully restored to a rich brown walnut shade. Status: For Sale Reference#: 141_b1400 Condition: fine Year: c1870"

I also found these two item pictures expired on ebay each listed as "cast iron umbrella drip pans". You can see each set is the same in form and one set is a parker the same as mine.

The stand pictured is just for example, it is not one that was listed with "Parker" pans. I just wanted to show an example with drip pans.

I have a great cabinet maker friend and think I will have him make a stand for me.

I have really enjoyed turning over a few rocks on these Parker items.

Good work Brian! That stand is gorgeous. Funny actually; As I looked at them at first the only explanation I could come up with for the single larger lip 'handle' on one end, if they aren't bread pans, was that they could be a small drawer of some kind. A bread pan would have a handle on both ends. These could certainly be 'repurposed' as bread pans though. Without the wood stand I can't imagine what else one would do with them unless you used them to make the mother of all lead ingots. I have a lead ingot from the Kellogg mining district in Idaho that would fill more than one of those. I bet some of these got used for storing mixed nuts and bolts in the barn once the wood part was gone...

Thanks for your research Brian - I am now convinced they are from a hall tree as you have shown.
