Chas Parker Patent Bell? & Match Safe
I spent a few hours at an Antique Show today, and made a few purchases including a nice Parker Match Safe and some old reloading tools. I also ran across what I'm hoping is a Chas Parker "Patent Bell." I didn't purchase the bell because I couldn't be sure, and my understanding is that these bells are not marked "Parker" anywhere, so I'm hoping a collector on this forum has seen enough of them to tell me what I have here. It's probably a long shot, but I've made arrangements to purchase the bell and have it shipped if it is the real deal. The only markings are some patent dates that surround the base of the push button for the striker. Below are some iPhone pictures of the items.
The Match Safe I Purchased
I also found all of these reloading tools on the same table, some of which are broken and missing pieces, but I only gave a few bucks for the whole lot. I don't see any real markings anywhere, so if anyone has anything to share, let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
