More Silent Auction items.
First is Dave Suponski's third in a series "The Parker Gun" granite hotplate hand-made right in his granite fabrication shop shown alongside Tom Latham's contribution of a fine collectible Jim Parker "Parker Bros." sheath knife. Next is a 1974 Charles Parker Co. sales award plaque donated by Dave Suponski along with two very nice, unused damascus sheathed and cased knives, a wooden three-piece cleaning rod and a "Parker Gun" patch for your shooting vest or jacket. Beneath those items are an authentic red clay brick from the original Parker Gun Works building which burned to the ground. Crossing Cherry Street and serving the Parker Bros. and Charles Parker Company manufactories was a well used railroad track which was torn up and paved over but on our recent visit to Meriden Dave kicked up this very old railroad spike. Finally, a slightly used but very nice Filson upland game and shell vest. . |

Very nice. I love the granite hotplate. I was cutting small versions of that on the rock saw here at the mine yesterday.... And think of all the birds that gorgeous 8ga must have put in the bag! Unbelievable.

After seeing this gun, I know how to save all that time and money I have been spending to replace bolt plates in loose Parkers. Next thing we know, Tony will be marketing "tightening collars" for double guns in his catalog.

That beautiful burl bowl shown in Larry's post was harvested from an old tree in Northeastern PA and hand fashioned into what you see by a fellow who calls himself "Burl Bob" and I will post his business card later this evening.
