Parker Display at the 1895 Sportsmen’s Exposition

[Mike Franzen]

Do we know who the author of that was?

The table only lists 13 of what the artical says were 75 guns shown in the 1895 Exposition.

Mills, you would appreciate a trip to Tony Galazan's Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Co. The area of his massive showroom, dedicated to Parkers, looks very much like the type of display cabinetry in the 1895 Exposition photos (minus the glass doors)
Most of Tony's showroom is antique showcases from large stores.
