Auction Find:
I’ve been on the hunt for Parker Bros. brass shells for a long while. It seems more difficult than finding shotguns. I won this one yesterday. I’ve sourced Remington & Winchester brass in larger lots, but Parker brass usually comes one at a time. The bidding stopped at a modest $3.25. Have to get it loaded up and make a black cloud.
