I bought a Parker Bros. coffee grinder a while back. Anyone ever seen one? Is there a catalog of Parker stuff similar to the Wichester Catalog of all their products?

The Charles Parker Co. made a lot of stuff from coffee grinders of all sizes and descriptions to piano stools, dress forms, kerosene lamps, tableware, vises of all sizes, clothing for the shooting sportsman, just about anything for the home and farm. The most complete listing I know of is in Vol.II of The Parker Story. Kind of pricey if all you want is a listing of things manufactured by Parker but the two-volume set is possibly the most complete resource for all things Parker, especially the guns and the history of the Parker company. . . and worth every penny.

Our county museum has a large Parker coffee grinder that came out of a country store in this area, it is about 3 feet high and has a cast iron wheel about 24' in diameter. Nobody in the museum had a clue about what it was used for. I used to see Parker vises occasionally and the small coffee grinders. Apparently they were a big player in the hardware business.
