Charles Alonzo King, (K) Parker Bros Plant Superintendant, was employed by Parker Brothers from 1874-1914 and was plant Superintendant beginning sometime in 1874 following his employment with Smith & Wesson from about 1867 as plant superintendant there until he joined Parker Bros. in 1874. He remained in that position with Parker Brothers until late in 1908 when his son Walter (WK) took over the position of Plant Superintendant.
His son Walter also served Parker Bros. from 1898 - 1906 as a barrel-making congtractor (WK) prior to his stint as Parker Gun Works superintendant....
So I see no valid reason at all why the stamps of both Charles A. King (K) and Walter King (WK) might not appear together on barrel flats during this period of overlapping positions of responsibility...
