Allan Swanson

The very first Charles Parker Co. item that I purchased (other than the guns) was a Mission Oak tower clock from Allan. It was at the 2013 Vintage Cup. The first time I met him. He had a whole table full of items like clocks, coffee grinders and silverplate items. The clock was the item that I really liked and could afford at the time. As I recall Allan gave the keynote speech on collecting Parkers at the annual meeting at that event. I have since acquired many more CP Co. items and I still have that clock.
