Parker Cased Iron Bears Advertisement
 
Were the Parker cased iron bears reproduced? I found one at an antique tool show but did'nt buy it thought it may be fake,it was about three inch's tall. J.J.

JJ, To my knowledge they were never reproduced.

George M. Purtill 03-12-2016 06:19 PM

Agree with David.

Bill Murphy 03-12-2016 06:48 PM

Not yet.

I cannot imagine why they would have ever been reproduced. Not a very big demand for them except for us Parker gun guys i would think.

They are around 3" tall.

There is one on Ebay now. But it is in poor condition having been repainted completely white at one time.

Brian,It was 3" and in nice condition the reason I ask about the Bear being a reproductions is because there's so much is being reproduced today.Thanks everyone for your advice. J.J.

What was their asking price? Out of curiosity.

James J. Roberts 03-13-2016 03:15 PM

Brian,The dealer wanted $150.00 I ask if that was there best price and got a price of $125.00,is that fair or to much? J.J.

Dave Suponski 03-13-2016 05:25 PM

Most I have seen sell for about $40-$50

The Parker Vise advertisement, about two inches long is pretty neat also! Gary
