I can only go second hand. My Father always talked about a Parker in the window display at Seattle Hardware when he worked there from late 1935 to 1940. He said he could have gotten it for $100 as an employee, but the best he could do was a Remington Sportsman at his employee price of $38. About 1960 his Sportsman was replaced by a 2-frame VH-Grade Parker Bros. 12-gauge, that was shipped to Seattle Hardware in 1902.
