Edgar is spot on. The 2 small pans were for a wooded hall tree and the bigger one i believe is for a cast iron stand where the support shaft came up through the half round cut out. I found this advertisement but the picture was expired:
"Halltree walnut with burl veneer accent panels. Has original Parker cast iron drip pans. White marble over drawer, 7 turned walnut hat hooks. RARE Columbus crest made of union thermoplastic or gutta purcha. Measures approx 1'' deepest, 3'' widest and 7'' tall. Fancy scribe carved finial tops off this wonderful piece of Victorian furniture. Fully restored to a rich brown walnut shade. Status: For Sale Reference#: 141_b1400 Condition: fine Year: c1870"
I also found these two item pictures expired on ebay each listed as "cast iron umbrella drip pans". You can see each set is the same in form and one set is a parker the same as mine.
The stand pictured is just for example, it is not one that was listed with "Parker" pans. I just wanted to show an example with drip pans.
I have a great cabinet maker friend and think I will have him make a stand for me.
I have really enjoyed turning over a few rocks on these Parker items.
