Default Parker lamp

Was looking at this old lamp I bought 20+ years ago. I think I may have put it on here many years ago. The antique dealer said it came from the gun room at Abercrombie and Fitch. The gun has a recessed hinge pin and fore arm latch like a Parker, hence I call it my Parker lamp.

I have one like it here. And I know a few others with them as well. They are neat pieces.

He had one at the PGCA Silent Auction a few years ago too.

Wow, I love that shade, mine didnt have one with it. As far as the A&F gun room claim, probably not, but maybe A&F sold them.

Probably a product of Cornwall Wood Products, a company in Maine who made many novelty and useful items with the Parker gun in various sizes. Ashtrays, bookends, and lamps were the most common.

Here are some other items with a similar shotgun. All of the items are unmarked.
