Art Appreciation

Surprising he didn't do his own engraving. He made some beautiful jewelry - my mother had a very nice band bracelet, silver and gold and engraved as well made and signed by Lynn Bogue Hunt. Wish she still had it but being an antique dealer, it went for a handsome profit.

Thanks Dean, I missed that in reading Mr. Murphy's post and detailed reply. So another added dimension to Mr. Hunt's shooting life. By the way, in the post-Vintagers and PGCA event wrap-up, I believe Art Wheaton or another BOD member was looking ahead to next's event and a theme- I suggested to him perhaps the Parker Trap and Skeet Guns- Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Parker SBT existed first, then as Remington was a "booster" for Skeet, the Parker Skeet guns came out in the 1930's. Not sure about the Parker Double trap guns with the ventilated ribs- but I'd like to see more about the Clays and Live Bird guns Parker made--over and beyond the first class article by Jeff Kuss in the recent edition of Parker Pages!!

I think you've got it about right Francis.
