Cool! That outfit was in Minnesota. I wonder if that Parker was used for 'Market Hunting' on the Mississippi Flyway? Ja, that was a lot of ducats in 1937, you betcha! Thanks for sharing.

Frayseth's was a major dealer in big bore shotguns. They advertised that they were buying big bores all the time and they offered many big bores in their classified ads. I get the impression that their customers were shooting big guns long after they were outlawed for waterfowl.

The $250 in 1935 would approximate what an 8 gauge Parker in fine condition would go for today--$8,000 to $12,000. Nothing really gets much more valuable after youconsider the effects of accumulated inflation.

I think most folks would be surprised at how few Parker 8 gauge guns were used by market hunters. If you hunted ducks for the market you couldn't have afforded one, there wasn't really a lot of money in that sort of work.
Legal market hunting ended in 1918, it was still going on in 1937 but nobody was using a $250 shotgun to do it. Destry
