Park Industries was originally the Park Sherman company out of Springfield, IL. It operated as Park Sherman from 1932-1960. In 1960, it was acquired by Ketcham and McDougall and moved to Murfreesboro and began using the name Park Industries. This means that anything that bears the name “Park Industries” is from 1960+. I believe the company operated until 1982. Sadly no big value, these were made in very large numbers and sold at gas stations and convenience stores during the 1960's, most go for under $15.00.
