Not to be overly picky, the Lifter was not the first action design, the T-latch was for the first couple or three years then the Lifter took over.
The year of lowest Parker Brothers shotgun production was 1933 at an arguable 83 guns.
The following year, 1934, was the year that Remington bought the Parker Gun Works and approximately 289 guns were sold.
