Parker Brother Shot Shell Belt ???

[TARNATION !!!]

Gentlemen who collect: I did get a picture direct from the auction house. I would think the belt will be of interest to someone here, as it sure looks like a Parker factory made shooting accessory. I'm not into collecting more stuff, I'm into getting rid of stuff, none of which is Parker memorabilia by the way and my few guns are not "stuff"

"Stuff" - There is a man who displays at the OGCA shows who has a sign on his table which says "How come all my STUFF is S**T, but all your "S**T is STUFF?"

Good sign

SOLD. Did someone here become a happy camper?

Hello all. While helping a friend help liquidate his parents estate, I ran across this shotgun shell belt and while investigating online, ran across this forum and thread. It holds 26 shells (there were still 5 full brass shells in it), the brass holders are marked 'PAT APR.16-78 P & S SERENA ILL', the top of the belt is marked PAT JAN-31-71 & MAR-18-78', and behind the shell holders 'PARKER BROTHERS WEST MERIDEN'. I have no doubt this is the belt pictured in the 1878 book mentioned here. Just looking for a fair value and offer, and to put it in a Parker collector's hands where it belongs. I can be reached at snoopy1955 at me dot com with any questions. Thanks much in advance, Keith from PA

The 5 brass shot shells are also marked Parker Bros.

Now that's a great Parker belt.

Depending on what those shoulder stocks were off of, I'd say the lot went cheap. That photo of the black policeman was worth $50 bucks or more by itself.
