I'm adding to the Wilton dating game, I mean database. 6" No. 60 fish hook logo, Pat. Pend. and 1965 date stamp. Go figure.

ejot, Do you know if it had any patent dates or other markings on it? Very nice vise of the age. What was the asking price? Thanks a bunch......Carl

The jaws are 2-1/8" and there is no cast model number. It does look very much like the No. 0. I hope that helps. ......Carl (maker of the Iron Hand website)

Here are some larger images. I believe this Parker was made between the patent dates of 1854 and 1867. This is one of my favorite vises. Please provide my name as credit if they are posted in another forum or Facebook. Photos by Carl Matthews. 1952722[/ATTACH]"] 1952724[/ATTACH]"]...

Mine has brass balls and stamped on the front jaw. The jaws are 2" wide and there are no raised letters. Here are a couple pics.

Hi Fierljeppen Very nice Parker! I don't see many Parker's without raised lettering. Is there raised lettering on the one side? Could you check the top of the front jaw for stamped lettering? Perhaps a little oil and 0000 steel wool will bring it out. That's an oldie.

I haven't seen many vises with a pivot front jaw. Could you share a couple more photos? Is it a no. 52 or 32? Also what holds the front jaw stationary?

Here are a couple of my small vises.... https://www.irista.com/gallery/jfyrq9gbxilt

Anyone near Boston have an Emmert 4a vise? If so, please contact me at vise27 at gmail

Yes, an up-side-down Emmert made by Park & Lacy Co Ltd in Sydney. It cost me a small fortune to get it and a long wait for shipping. You cant do this one "by the pound". It has 3 sets of jaws. The smallest set is 1-3/4", next is 1-7/8", plus the adjustable triangle jaws.

I've been offline awhile. I was in my garage today and pulled out an old Australian vise. Well they call it a vice. To me a VICE is a bad habit and a VISE is a handy tool. Has gadget appeal, right? <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a...

I was at a clients shop today and saw this nice Wilton having a workout. They repair and maintain large trucks. This Wilton is easily holding the hydraulic ram.

Andrew, That's a great looking Parker! Nice job. :rocker:
