Default Parker Box Labels

In another thread a Parker box was shown for GHE 241257. The label still has Parker Bros. Makers and the Meriden, Conn. U.S.A. address.

In the lower 241xxx serial number range we begin seeing the

MADE IN U.S.A.
Ilion, N.Y.

roll-stamp on the right watertable of the guns.

Did they ever get around to an Ilion address box label?

My all-time favorite "original shipping box" for a Parker Gun was the one offered on eBay years ago that had the Zip Code for Meriden CT. artfully faded in the address box.
