At the recent Rock Island premiere auction there were two lots of Parker paper items. One of them had a great deal of correspondence items. The other had just catalogs. I got the catalogs, but someone else got some very interesting pieces of Parker history in the other lot. Perhaps it was someone here on the forum? I'm hoping so. Maybe whomever can add to Dean's materials.
