Not sure if this helps and this isn't to say these are exact, but here is a couple of ads that appeared that gave the address of the NY sales room:

August 17, 1889, American Field, the following advertisement appeared: “The Parker Hammerless Shotgun. The first Parker Hammerless Gun made won the championship of America at Decatur, Ill. It is the safest Hammerless Gun ever made, as hammers cannot be let down to rest on loaded shells. The safety is automatic, also positive and absolutely safe, and the spiral mainsprings employed are guaranteed for twenty-five years. Send for illustrated circular. New York Salesroom, 97 Chambers Street. Parker Bothers, Makers, Meriden, Conn.”


August 17, 1907, The Sportsmen’s Review, “ A catalogue that will be invaluable to prospective gun purchasers will be sent on request by Parker Bros., 40 Cherry Street, Meriden, Conn. The New York salesrooms are at 32 Warren Street, where a full line of these good guns may be seen.”
