Default Charles Parker Co. 32 Warren St. NY

I recently received a letter on my 16 ga 0 frame VH. It was ordered to be a light 16 so I assume that’s why it’s on an 0 frame ? It stated that it was shipped to the Charles Parker Co on 32 Warren street NY. Were there many sold from this location (showroom)or were they mostly sold through hardware and other stores and salesman?

Next to the large sporting goods stores and hardware stores, the Parker retail store sold the most guns from their inventory stock or ordered the most guns for their customers..

August 17, 1889, American Field, the following advertisement appeared: “The Parker Hammerless Shotgun. The first Parker Hammerless Gun made won the championship of America at Decatur, Ill. It is the safest Hammerless Gun ever made, as hammers cannot be let down to rest on loaded shells. The safety is automatic, also positive and absolutely safe, and the spiral mainsprings employed are guaranteed for twenty-five years. Send for illustrated circular. New York Salesroom, 97 Chambers Street. Parker Bothers, Makers, Meriden, Conn.”

32 Warren was salesroom address starting in the 1903 Catalog

August 17, 1907, The Sportsmen’s Review, “ A catalogue that will be invaluable to prospective gun purchasers will be sent on request by Parker Bros., 40 Cherry Street, Meriden, Conn. The New York salesrooms are at 32 Warren Street, where a full line of these good guns may be seen.”

The 1913 "Small Bore Shotgun booklet" lists the NYC showroom as still being 32 Warren.

It changes to 25 Murray St. in the 1916 "Small Bore Shotgun" booklet.
