Parker "275" swivel jaw vise, 6" of fine clamping goodness.

[wrenchguy]

Rather obscure model as i couldn't find anything about it.

6" x 1 1/2" jaws with good larger cross hatching 4 some fine gription. Opens 10", total 27 1/2" long, 10" diameter base not including bolt hole tabs. Weighs in at 165 lbs. I guess the parker "no.1" wrench is for a 1 1/16" swivel base lock down nut. Anyone got one?

How old would this clamper be?
thanks 4 looking.

sorry I don't know that much about Parker's even though I own the slightly little brother to yours. I did see that it looks like yours is a swivel jaw and I couldn't see the pin or even the hole in the pictures.

nice find big guy and the jaws look great on that one

 

[wrenchguy]

for got to mention the tapered pin is missing, thats more better than it being broke off.

Awesome find! Not super familiar with Parkers, though it's obviously pre-Union Mfg. Happy to see it found a good home.

Here's an ad from 1901 showing a Parker 275, but it shows a fixed base?

I'm sure Brother Scott would like the fine print at the bottom of each section...

Jaws available at a trifling cost!!!

Does trifling mean expensive. Notice they also mentioned fitted to the jaws. Oldie you been busy tonight.

To translate "trifling" into a language that someone who breathes that rarefied Colorado air can comprehend...

Trifling= El Cheapo...

Looses something in the translation, doesn't it???

Or as my British wife says---"Pay for it, it's a mere trifle..."

That looks a lot like my 273, but bigger of course. Very early 1900s is what I'd say from my research. Not later than 1910.

Oldie: you need to learn how to speak fluent "Metal" before you can start trying to teach Mr. Scott "Old English".
