Order letter from 4/23/1924 CHE 12 wildfoul
1 Attachment(s)
I have a original order letter on stationary of Joseph P. Kittredge from Sharon P.A.. It is a order for a Parker CHE-12 wildfowl. Anyone think they may own this gun? Or that Joseph is family? I also have two hunting pictures of him with a setter dog. SXS ohio

Very cool!

Bro. Kittredge (correct spelling) likely had some money
https://books.google.com/books?id=oO...J&pg=PA322&lpg His son, Jr., was born in 1911, and there is a charitable trust in his name https://alma.app/charities/465136455...-jr-char-trust He is apparently still alive at 109 (!) and listed in Hermitage, PA. |
I believe there was a Kittredge who owned a plantation in SC back in the first half of the 20th century

$1.292M.... is a pretty decent charitable trust.

Nice stuff Kenny - Did it all come with a gun you have?

Dean....The letter and pics came with a DH16 that I bought from a auctioneer selling a Kittredge family house in Sharon P.A. several years back. He heard that I bought parkers and came to my shop with it. I think it had SST so I re-sold it. SXS Ohio

I would like to see the letter united with the CHE if it was built. There is a parker in the one picture...don't know if its the one ordered? SXS Ohio
