Carl,
I just finished redoing the camp, and yes I am working on your 2 racks. I do not know where Spiller lived. Must have been somewhere in the east. I figured dean would know. Bill

Burt lived in East Rochester NH, as a kid he lived in Wells Maine I believe.

Bob is correct on both locations. He worked at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and in his spare time when he wasn't grouse hunting he made violins and raised prize-winning gladioli, even developing his own strains.

What year did Burt die? I think it was in the 70's

I had the immeasurable pleasure of shooting "Burt's Gun" at the Vintager's not even two weeks ago - a 20 ga. V grade with a single trigger. The original pad is still on the gun and is surprisingly still quite pliant. This little gun fit me like it was an extension of my body and my mind. I usually score about 50% on any sporting clays course but the day I shot this little Parker I shot 70%! I was thrilled and can't thank Morris enough for entrusting his pride and joy to me. Now I know why Burt Spiller rarely missed a pa'tridge.

Did Burton live in the city or on a farm?
