Any documentation on any relationship between Parker Pen and Parker gun arrows? Thats what I'm looking for.
I believe Parker Pen was after Parker Bros, so perhaps the better place to look is Parker Pen.

Get your boat out of the way of the storm Mark? And I know you are on the water, and I hope on not in. Let us know how you fared.

All Mark needed for the storm was one helper to assist in driving the Corvettes inland.

The corvettes did fine in the storm. The boats were more of a concern but they escaped any damage. Our friend Buddy Marson had some minor damage underneath his house and is without heat for awhile. Neither one of us lost power which is a first for me. VB was lucky unlike our friends to the north.

I have a good friend named George Parker. George's grandfather founded Parker Pen Company in Janesville Wisconsin. George and I have discussed whether or not there was ever any relationship between the Gun company and the Pen company.

George says that as far as he knows there never was any relationship or connection. He says that his family is not related to the Chas. Parker family.

Having said all that, George does have "somewhat" of a connection. He has a G grade Parker in his collection.
