Those Parker’s don’t open. They were used for advertising.

Interesting. I wanna go check my 577 now lol. But I don’t remember seeing anything like that on mine. I would definitely remember that.

Speaking of RI 577’s, have you guys seen this one yet? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143372220481

I understand it’s not easy finding the big ones. Even here in the NE it’s gotten a lot harder. That’s why I said be patient. A quick look on Portland CL already found a few Parker’s, a nice 5.5” monarch. All under $150. They’re out there. And you really should look into changing your screen...

It was only a matter of time before the Wilton weenies chimed in. For some reason these guys take it personal. OP it’s your choice and your money. You can do what you want with it. What I’m trying to say is that $1000 is a lot of money to spend on 2 vises. Especially those light duty tradesman...

Wtf are you talking about? Your last 2 posts make no sense at all. Do we really need to explain this to you AGAIN????

Age has nothing to do with it buddy

Exactly

I wouldn’t buy either of them. They’re garbage. Find an older vise at a fraction of the price.

WOW!!! Very nice

That’s a rare vise. Dig deep in those pockets

VISE I agree about those railroad stands. We have a member on here who has a bunch of them. I haven’t been able to convince him to sell me one though

I think I have a screw/handle from a 955. The vise was given to me because the dynamic jaw support was busted off. I’ll be in the shop tonight and check to see if I still have it.

Smitty here’s a few more pics No. 114 20” tall 11” wide Last pic it’s sitting next to a 6” Columbian combo vise.

Smitty here it is. This is the only pic I have right now. I can get more tonight. IIRC it’s got the graffiti style writing on it.

Yes like VA said. If it was made in 1880 it would have the bolt through the bench for the swivel. And the model #’s were totally different back then. The early 6” combo Parker’s were #289 1/2 I believe.

The patent you saw was 1930. Not 1880. Once you hit the #’s with a wire brush you can see them clearly

I wouldn’t. It’s only a 3 1/2”. And it doesn’t have the original spindle. IMO it’s not worth much more than that

I was gonna buy the Athol. But I didn’t like how the swivel jaw had been brazed together. Trojan was Parker’s lower line of vises. Still nice vises though
