I got this from a guy up in Pa. He had the box made to keep 10 ga Salesman sample and the other two he had made about 20 years ago. I'll have better pictures of the 10ga shell once I receive it.

Does anyone have paper Parker shells, either fired or unfired, that we can see pictures of?

Thanks Jeff.
There's a cagey ol' timer here in New England who claims to have two original boxes of Parker Bros. unfired shells. I've been working of him for years without success. He just isn't ready to sell.

Has the PGCA ever done a run of Parker labeled shells through RST http://www.rstshells.com/rst_classic_shotshells_custom.htm ? I looked into it several years ago to use as a promotion for my business but the total quantity of shells required to be purchased were beyond my needs. I think it would be a neat idea for one (or all) of the doublegun associations to do if there was enough demand from their members.

Marc;
I agree. That would be a fun idea. You could count me in if we ever went that route.

I'm sure it is possible. The Smith guys had them available for sale at the Southern.

Thanks Jeff. I was going to inquire about this on the Smith board as well but you answered my question.
Cheers

My guess is that there would be little trouble in selling the entire run of Parker shells to Parker owners if the run were anywhere near within reason. Cool idea I think. So, who's going to run with it??? Fess up....
