Does anyone have Parker Bros. shells as described in Patent No. 88,202 in their collection?
I don't believe I have ever seen one as shown in Fig. 5 of the patent and I'd really like to see actual pictures of the shell head rather than imagine what they look like from the drawings in the patent.
Along these same lines - we have an incredible resource in the work Robin Lewis has done for our benefit, in compiling all Parker Bros. patents with hyper-links to the patent as it is archived in the U.S. Patent Office.
I wonder how often folks look at the links and really get into them to learn more and more about everything Parker.
Go Here...
http://parkerguns.org/
Then click the tab "Technical Information" and right up top are the hyper-links to the Patents, both gun-related and non-gun-related. Click on any one of the hyper-links for the patents and it brings up the patent with both the drawings as well as the original text of the patent.
Most of the work in building the information on all these various tabs has been compiled and placed there by Robin Lewis - Kudos to you Robin!!
