This is a rare piece of early 20th century Parker Brothers advertising in the form of a calendar for the year 1904 featuring many of the illustrious shooters who used Parker guns in 1903. The portraits of many of these shooters are featured at the top including Trapshooting Hall of Fame member, Fred Gilbert front and center, flanked by Geo. S. McAlpin, C.W. Phellis, W.H. Heer, and C.W. Budd. Below the portraits the achievements of these shooters at various competitions are detailed as well as various marketing literature reiterating that, "the PARKER GUN properly loaded and correctly pointed has no peer, but stands alone, justly termed the "OLD RELIABLE". The piece is of cardboard construction and approximately 18 3/4 x 14 inches with a 3 5/8 x 6 3/4 inch calendar with removable pages on the bottom. These calendars, like this example, start with March, the same month production began under the Parker Brothers name in the late 1860s.

Very fine with some scattered light wear, a small tear at the left top, some scattered light staining, and a minor stain in the bottom left corner. A rarely encountered piece of advertising history from America's most desirable shotgun manufacturer!
