Bruce,
I lived about 40 miles from Fort Dodge Iowa"Sac City" and remember seeing as new Parkers, or I thought they were, there as well as some new or newer Fox and "still in production" L.C. Smith guns. Lots of model 12s. Makes you wonder about how long those "new" Parker guns were there
My Grandfather took me there to see the place where they made the Lazy Ike lures, but talked too long to Rudy and we never got to see it. If I remember they were made away from the store. "Long time ago folks." "Grandfather passed away in 1951." It must have been 1948 or49. He bought a Iver Johnson Pistol that day. In later life I got to shoot it.
