Thanks Outlaw, and thanks for your help. Apologize for my ineptitude! Will probably be mounted on a bench replacing a smaller Littlestown. There's a 2nd hand store nearby with a rusty C. Parker No.2X (missing collar), but shop owner asking $175. I'll see if it's still there when I get back in...

Thanks KM! I need to replace the small spring in the handle and have a collar made. Otherwise will continue to clean it up without major restoration/electrolysis/paint, it's got some character!

Success!

Thanks Outlaw, your instructions were fine, I just needed to get my head out of it.

Failure to follow your thorough instructions, sorry all

This should be the fifth post, maybe now I can post pics.

This makes 4 I think

Can't post pics till 5 posts, as I thought

Thanks Outlaw! great catalogue reference. will try with pics after some much needed chow. Cleaning up an old vise is thirsty work, too much "pork chop in a can". time for some solid food

Hi all, new guy to this forum. I just picked up a Charles Parker Vise No. 1!!!! Don't know the significance (of No. 1) but haven't been able to search/find anything similar. It weighs about 41 pounds, 3-1/2 inch jaws, missing the screw collar but I see I can have one made at benchvisejaws.com...
