Hello: Does anyone happen to know of Charles Parker Co. / Parker Gun trade catalogues in libraries apart from: CT Historical Society, UCSB, the THF, Museum of CT History, Smithsonian, Cooper-Hewitt, Corning Museum of Glass, the Met, and the Historic New England org? I'm working on a compilation.
FYI, the CHS has 3 Parker gun trade catalogues, visible in their hard-copy card catalogue: 1874 (26 pp.), 1872? (34 pp) and another undated one (26 pp.)
Also there are some cool maps showing all of the Parker companies in the day on the Yale website: http://findit.library.yale.edu/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&f%5Bdigital_collection_sim%5D%5B%5D=Sanborn+Fire+I nsurance+Maps&search_field=all_fields&q=meriden+conn
