Payment Types Accepted: Description: This #3 frame gun was built in 1878 as commissioned by E. F. Bassett, which is indicated on the rib. Preliminary research indicates that this shotgun may have been sold to Edward F. Bassett of Seymour, CT, which is less than 30 miles from Meriden although the gun was actually delivered to F. T. Proudman in New York City. Bassett's name appears in U. S. Census records pertaining to Seymour, CT for the years 1870, 1880, and 1890. In these records he identifies himself as a \"Furniture Dealer\". More complete research would be needed to verify ownership, but old Parkers like this surely spark one's interest in American history. This gun includes the hardcopy Parker factory letter shown and electronic delivery of related research papers.
