N8O Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just bought this parker. I don't know anything about these. Original color? Any way to date? I have the original jaw inserts( they look absolutely brand new) but not the pipe inserts. Weighs 175.5 lbs. Sitting on a 420lb. anvil and it makes the anvil look kinda small to me. Might have to get a bigger anvil! No slop, jaws align. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaudry Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have a couple of Parker vises, but neither are in good a shape as that one. The deep throat and relatively narrow jaws are handy for certain things. Great score ! What did you pay for that beauty ? # 88 1/2 with 4 3/4'' wide jaws. #102 with 3'' jaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8O Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ah man I was hoping nobody would ask me what I paid. Let me just say this, a friend of mine who I bought it from let me spend 3 days using his lathe and bridgeport style mill to make some stuff for free. When he asked me if I was interested in buying it I didn't argue with his price. He lets me come and use his equipment if I have something to make that I can't do in my tiny shop. Most of the time it only costs me a lunch.☺ I thought it would be a cool tool to add to the Arsenal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sounds like a fair price to me. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trash collector Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Nice score, very nice. Are you going to put it to good use or will it be a conversation piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8O Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 No shelf queen here. It'll be put to use when I get in a bigger shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
