| This “BLUE INK” pocket catalog published
by Parker Brothers circa 1900, is offered in e-book form by Old
Mountain Press. The original hard copy is Parker’s only catalog which pictures
EH and NH “grades,” and is the first to picture $50 VH grade (introduced
by leaflet dated April 1, 1899). Parker automatic ejectors were available
by 1902, but aren’t mentioned. This circa 1900 catalog is extremely
rare, perhaps because of small size, blue ink, and the fact it was
soon superseded by Parker’s more elaborate circa 1906 Pine Cone
catalog. 371 Kb download. Click to see sample page.

| The “FLYING DUCKS” catalog was published
by Parker Brothers circa 1913. Although the original catalogue is
undated, the “Quality Trojan” shown here is call a “New gun...[and]...the
result of experience gained in nearly fifty years of gun manufacture.”
An announcement in February 8, 1913 issue of the American Filed, stated
that “Parker Brothers of Meriden, Conn., gun manufacturers are just placing
on the market a new low priced double-barreled shotgun, which is known
as the Trojan.” Charles Parker began “...nearly fifty years of gun
manufacture” in 1864, with a military contract for fifteen thousand Model
1861 Springfield rifle-muskets. The claim in this catalogue of “...upward
ot 170,000 guns in the hands of sportsmen,” also supports the conclusion
that this catalogue dates to 1913 as Parker Brothers surely padded their
production to anticipate sales after the catalog was issued. Low serial
numbers for Trojan grade have been observed in the range of 160,XXX; however,
it was usual for Parker brothers to simultaneously produce guns of different
grades with substantial serial number variations. This catalogue also contains
Table Showing 40, 60, 75, and 100 Per Cent of Number of Pellets in Loads
of Shot from 7 7/8 to 1 1/2 Ounces and Cylinder, Modified Choke Full Choke
Patterns. Click to see sample page.

in 1930 and contains the prices and description of their guns as of 1 January
1930. The pocket catalogue was 6 3/4" X 3 3/4". It indicated on the
individual pages that prices were found on page 15 when actually the prices
