Ivory Beads will be closing

[Jim Thynne]

I wish to thank everyone that has been a friend of Ivory Beads, but my wifes health has made it impossible to continue with the business.
Jerry will not carry on the store without me, so April 1 will be our last day on premisis, actually closing for business March 15.
Jerry and I wish to thank all of our Parker friends, and as life members we may show up at some of the events.
We will be in Las Vegas for the Antique Arms Show, as well as S.C.I.
Once again thanks to all of you................................Jim Thynne

I feel lucky to have visited the store once. Thanks for letting me smoke a cigar in the viewing room with you Jim. There aren't many places in California where that's legal. Good luck to your wife. Best Brian

very sorry to hear about your wife's health, -- family first, as it should be, but saddly is not always.

you should take some certain pride in leaving the business with the level of respect you have rightfully earned.

Jim, my first Parker I purchased many years ago was from you. It's a DHE 32", beavertail, pistolgrip with a Miller trigger. I still have it and don't expect to part with it anytime soon. It was a pleasure doing business with both you and Jerry and I always enjoy talking to you guys at the gun events we attend. I will deeply miss seeing you guys there! I wish you the very best.
