A guy would be pretty hard pressed to even find a single whole brick there anymore. The place has been so well bulldozed and the rubble is just about all crushed and crumbled brick and mortar. I have seen some bricks from the area purported to be from the original Parker Bros. factory but which are much too recently made to be from the Gun Works.
