My entry to the Paper collector club

[Brian Hornacek]

I have been looking at the below pictured Parker paper collection for some time and am very happy to have it home with me now. I learned a lot about paper with the help of Jeff Kuss. What a great resource who I look forward to meeting some day to further express my gratitude. A couple descriptions

Pic 1 and 2 are various catalogues with pic 4 having the original order form in the flying duck.

Pic 6 1890 price list

Pic 7 introduction of the Trojan

Pic 15 letter to WRA barrel test dircussion W R King signed

Pic 16 Letter to Sharps about cleaning rods

I am posting this to help others and hopefully for other experts to contribute to my learning. Enjoy this post.

That's one hell of a collection that you got.

Congratulations Brian.

That's quite a leap into the world of Parker ephemera.

[George M. Purtill]

Brian great start on collecting- you are actually quite a ways along!!
Be sure to post the serial numbers on the hang tag list on this forum. Its a sticky.

[Bill Murphy]

34" barrels on one tag!

[David Noble]

Very nice!
A question, does anyone know why the statement "brass shells should never be used with nitro powder" is imprinted on a couple of the hang tags?
