What can you tell me about this gun

[Michael Copperthite]

When we were only selling 25,000 pies a day.. Parker Brother's Pie Ad?

There's the proof; You're genetically destined to be a Parker collector. Your Grandfather's gun must have formed a lasting impression when he moved to Meriden. I would have that ad framed and hung on the wall of my gun room.
Ironically, my family roots are also Meriden, though the Scottish side of my family came from Simsbury CT.

but as there are no absolute here what could that mean

Post clear pictures of the barrel flats, (the bottom of the breech of the barrels). There will be a marking there that will clarify the type of barrel steel. Parker Steel is the type of fluid steel that was usually used on PH grade Parkers later than the manufacture date of your gun. Your gun is listed as a Twist Steel barrelled gun in the Serialization Book, a book whose contents are derived from the Parker Brothers stock books.

What is the critter in the first picture hanging on the left side of the cloths line . If it's a coon it looks to be as big as that pointer.
