Thanks to Mark for referring to the Hardware Collectors . I wonder if there is a similar site for the big gun dealers, such as Schoverling in NYC, etc.
I have a GHE from Tisdall Sporting Goods in Vancouver BC and just that history is interesting because they are rumored to have supplied great quantities of arms, shipped over as ancester's remains, to China for the Boxer Rebellion, and Tisdall later became the mayor and had quite a gun club in the city parks.
When I didn't have more than a couple Parkers, the history was only of passing interest to me, but now that I have all that I want or need and am not acquiring, the history seems more important......just an observation, maybe others experience the same.
