I will start it off and try to generate some interest with a few of my favorite items from my collection.

A few items from the Parker line of Vices. These are promotional items. A Bear paperweight, a vice paperweight and an ash tray, which is pretty rare.

This is an interesting piece which comes from the forging shop. it is my understanding that these were test pieces used in training for mold makers. The piece has a lot of detail in it and it was considered a test of a mold makers skill to be able to cast it without defects. This piece is marked on the back as being from the Charles Parker Co.

This is one of the first Charles Parker Co. items that I purchased. It is a Mission tower Alarm clock. I purchased this from Alan Swanson at the Vintage cup in 2012 or 2013 I think. It appealed to me because I really love mission style furniture. It still works, and I got it adjusted to where it keeps pretty good time. But, being an alarm clock, it needs to be rewound every day to keep it going.

If this thread keeps on going and appears to generate some good interest, I may share some other items. But these were just a few that I consider highlights.
