I have a Parker primer tin that I acquired some time ago. Does anybody have any additional information about these?

The label on your tin is in excellant condition. Usually not the case with these when they are found.

These are, as others have stated, very Desirable, especially for someone looking to fill an original case with original components. Recent examples on on-line auction sites have seen pricing in the $100-200 range on these.

JJ Roberts, have you seen many of these in this condition? I have one other but not in as good condition. Do you know more about them?, my knowledge of them is limited.

Richard,Your tin is one of the better one I've seen even with the stain,don't know much about your Parker tin.Looking at some of the auction site it hard to believe the price's they ask for these primer tin & power tins with labels faded or half missing.Buy the best because if go to sell one day you won't have any problems.

Richard, I sold mine a couple of years ago to a Parker collector on this board, mine was in the same condition as yours maybe a little better. I sold it to him for $150 and he was a good friend......Understand.....

There was a guy several years ago selling reproductions for around $20 each. I believe he sold gun case accessories from his website. Not sure if he still is selling them.
