Default All great artists whose work is timeless

:Lynn Bogue Hunt, Edmund Osthaus, Milton Pleissner, Chet Reneson, William Bishop, Roland Clark. One might infer from Mr. Murphy's fine research re the Parker in 1931 ordered by LBH at over $300 that the Big Crash of 1929 didn't hit everyone with the same sledge-hammer blow. Grade 7- that would be a AAHE- any more details besides the sn from Mr. Murphy's research- ordered for hunting grouse, or a duck gun perhaps??

This past June, visiting one of my sisters out East (Dover DE) we went to the RCA Victor museum- wonder about Mr. Middleton- CEO back then and his Invincible 16- took delivery sometime in September 1929- apparently stored it unfired in the case in a closet- I don't know what the open bird seasons were in NJ and DE back in 1929, but I know this- if I had bought s special order Parker (or Fox or Ithaca or LC Smith) as soon as I had it in my hands, I'd want to shoot it, if even just on clays--???
