Order Book #5

[Hammer Gun]

Does any body know who bought the original order book #5 on E-bay, I thought all the original books were at Remington with the exception of a few in private hands, I understand it sold at the buy it now price of 3500.00, What a find this was , tells me that there are more books in private hands that we thought, Gary

I did not see that listing. Do you have an item number?

Interesting to see one come up for sale.

I found it. Ebay item number 291769470588.

I thought the covers of the order books were differen looking than that. The binding is gone which may have had the Parker name on it originally.

Wow...that's unusual. Also...whoever sold it probably sold himself short by not advertising it. Probably coulda generated some real interest in it.

Have we as an organization ever tried to buy the books Delgregos have. They have two or three and some degree of the late Remington records/info. If the one on Ebay went for $3500, perhaps an offer of $10,000 for their stuff might shake them loose. I believe our organization has well over a $100,000 in available cash, at least it did some years ago. What better use of our funds is available?

Brian, when I enter the item number on Ebay, nothing comes up.

You check the checkbox for sold listings on the left and it will show up

[StubTwist]

Thanks Eric. Found it.

A dozen Ebay searches related to Parker does not beat the early bird. Looks like listing lasted just short of 8 hours.

I personally feel a good route to take for someone who actually cared about the organization and forwarding the interests of it would donate it and then take the write-off for whatever value they want. Make up the money on the back end and help out the PGCA.

Order books are little good to an individual.

Heck, at least donate or offer to sell copies of it to the PGCA.
