I enjoy doing research on these old guns and our task is becoming less difficult as Google and universities digitizes more historical documents. I am fortunate to own a Parker AH 10ga that was on display at the Madison Square Gardens Show of 1897. Up until recently I have been frustrated finding much information except for written accounts of the show in NYC. Well my luck changed today and I discovered the 1897 issues of Forest and Stream are now available and searchable from the U of Michigan. To my great joy a image of the Parker Booth is included in the article with some text which I have shown below. Just imagine the gun below was in that exhibit 120 years ago with 80 other Parkers, amazing!
