Now I know there are those that like the big gauges, others are small gauge enthusiasts. So how about something for the no gauge people?

I've been trying to get this guy to sell me this vise for two years... No go. He has no idea Parker ever made a gun.

It doesn't look like he's getting a lot of use out of it.

Just a little something to put your specs in.

I am sure that there are many Parker made items out and about. We have to remember that Charles Parker was a maker of hardware and many other items prior to and during the time that the gun factory produced shotguns.

My wife saw the lamps while I was reading this thread at breakfast on the i-Pad and declared they were the ugliest lamps she's ever seen. I took that to mean the guns were OK, just don't bring home any Parker Bros. lamps.

I've got what I assume is a Parker wall-mounted coffee grinder with a small resevoir. Can't post pictures now, as I'm 1500 miles away. How commoon are those grinders?

Big D - at this moment an eBay search for Parker Coffee Grinder returned 19 active auctions - 3 of them the sort on a board with a small tin hopper and lid which I guess you are talking about. There is quite a variety just of this type, some the brass labels, some without, take your pick. The Christmas after the Parker bug infected me, my best buddy's family gave me one, I believe they paid $65 for it. The ones now on eBay range around $50 +/-

Local county museum has a large coffee grinder with Parker Bros cast cast on the large wheel that operated it. It originally came from a small town in the foothills near here.
