I've amassed a small collection of vises since joining GJ.(none of which I actually need) 
As a matter of fact, I joined GJ as a result of looking for info on a Chas. Parker I purchased, more or less as a favor for someone.
Today I picked up this one...Ever since reading Bulls thread about his vise and the history behind them, I've wanted one of my own.

Last year I let one get away, but this time I was able to snag one. I was even prepared to meet the 100$ asking price. As it worked out, I got it for 80$ and spent almost an hour shooting the **** with a real nice guy about tools, cars and other stuff.
It's in really decent original shape except for some rust and the swivel base nuts that have been replaced. It even has the remains of a YORK label on the front of it. Enough of my babbling....here's some pics.

Lovely vices are the Yorks. That's a fairly early one too.
