Thanks for your feedback, Owner is asking 125. Didn't know if that is in ballpark or not. Still don't think he realiszes it is a swivel unit. Thanks again.

Have an opportunity to pick up a RI 853. Appears to be decent shape. Can anyone give me an approx value. I don't think the current owner realizes it is a swivel jaw. Thanks

Update. The anvil brought $150. Not my money though. Was going to offer them $50 if they still had it. Thank you all for your replies and info on this.

So you think perhaps it may be worth 100?

Be half price tomorrow. Don't know if I want to even do that much. Maybe I'll put in an offer if it doesn't sell.

They know it's broken

I greatly appreciate your feedback RTM

Saw this at an estate sale today. Been in someones damp basemant a long time. Noticed the back end was broken off. Still weighed between 150-180 lbs in my opinion. Can't make out any markings due to the corrosion/rust. Is this of any value at all? Can't believe they know it is broken and still...

Refurbishing a Parker 229 and it is missing the handle for the lockdown . Can anyone tell me what the length of the rod should be? I have the nut, just need to make a rod. Also, any info on the "dummy" pin I've seen in some photos that goes opposite the lockdown? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated

Picked up a Parker D vise that was missing a chunk. Had my "guy" fix it for me. Have someone interested in buying it. I have no idea what it may be worth. Can anyone give me an idea of it's approximate value? I see someone has one for sale in Oregon refurbished for 300 on CL (I have the original...

Thank you. Do you have an email where I can ask you some questions, or is that frowned upon? Or I could give you my phone #?

Do you know of anyone who has one of these early 20's? I need to make a pivot pin and need some dimensions Thanks

I have 3 or 4 vises ready for paint. Bought some Rust-oleum hammered paint to try. Just haven't gotten there yet. Nice Bull Dogs

So. it's all dismantled. "locking pin" that I drove out was made of wood? Must have been a quick substitute. Any idea what the dimensions should be. Will have my friend turn one down on a lathe. Maybe even use brass. Thanks again.

Thanks, I like the paint look myself. I try to stay original when I can. Reecently restored an old British Premier 6" vise and couldn't find exact color here stateside, but did find something close. Can you tell me what the missing pin is supposed to look like. Can get one easily made by a...

Just purchased a Prentiss 20 (best I can tell from weight and jaw width & opening (60+ lbs, 4-1/2" and 6"), jaws are fixed)) for $50. Have been restoring old vises as a hobby lately. Was going to flip this one, but after researching, will probably restore and keep. Vise does say PRENTISS NY on...

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Jaw width 3-1/2". 5-1/4" opening (at full nut engagement, could squeek out another inch plus if necessary). Weight 28 lbs 14 oz.
