Thanks for the input gents... I was aware of the large Canadian Eaton's store, but thought perhaps this might had been a family run Mom/Pop store by folks here in the U.S with the same name... As many of you know I've been collecting old Parker and gunning related photos for quite sometime, and although I've seen several early sporting window displays, this is the first with Parker's... The original old photo was acquired a few years ago and has great subject matter if you like Parker 20&28 small bores with beavertails, and long barreled 12ga vent/rib trap models... The photo measures 7.5 X 9.5, and the Edgeworth tobacco tins should probably date the image... Photo was found in the Silver Spring MD area, and has hand penciled sketches of Skeet and Trap fields on the back with the written words "Skeet shooting exhibit"... Thought the history buffs here would enjoy this nostalgic trip back in time to simpler days and familiar shooting irons.
Second from top left is a Parker with card that reads "28 Ga Double Barrel Woodcock Gun", and bottom left is another that reads "20 Ga Quail Gun Parker"... Bottom right is a long barreled vent/rib Parker (Looks like DHE) card reads "12 Ga Double Barrel Trap Gun", and just above that looks to be a Fox Skeet gun... 3 images below.
Best, CSL
