A.C. MIDDLETON'S PARKER INVINCIBLE
Now that we know the whereabouts of the Czar Nicholas A-1 Special (I assume that it still resides with Jack Puglisi) and Bo Whoop 1 rests with BW2 in Memphis at the DU Museum, does anyone here know what has become of the only known Invincible. I was reading about it tonight in Mike McIntosh's "Best Guns". He relates that Mr. A.C. Middleton owner of the Victor Talking Machine Company had a 16 bore Invincible built for himself and took possession just before the stock market crash. He stored it in an upstairs closet of his 25 room mansion with the hang tags still attached and, presumably, never fired it. After his death and that of his wife the home was sold with the Invincible still in the upstairs closet. At some point the owner of Safari Outfitters acquired it and later sold it to a private collector. My question is, WHO? And where is it now? If put to market what would it bring?
And what about SN 200,000? Where is it now? Enquiring minds want to know.
Best Regards, George
