Early 20 gauge production

[Steve Parker]

I was wondering if anyone had the number of 20 gauge Parkers produced per year from 1875-1900. If grade could be included that would be of interest also.

Charlie Price did a presentation to the assembled faithful at the PGCA 7th Annual Meeting and Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, July 21, 2001. The table with Charlie's presentation shows production by gauge in five year blocks. For the 20-gauge --

1869-1875 -- 2
1876-1880 -- 13
1881-1885 -- 6
1886-1890 -- 26
1891-1895 -- 51
1896-1900 --348
