That is a really nice findand the vise is one cute little fella. Have you checked the vise spread sheet to see if it is even listed?
I’m not sure if it’s listed or not.

Awesome vises you've got there Sandman. I'm glad I got to check out the RI while it was in our mutual friends possession because no picture does it justice. Great score on the Prentiss 97 too!

Although I’d like to take credit for it rusty65 posted it first. I’ve got a couple of those finger vises and I really like them. It’s a great connection to artisans back in the day. I too just purchased a vise that was on that page. I got a Prentiss 153 on eBay yesterday. I’ll have to go to the app to post a few pics.

I am not Wilton. And your vise is not a Wilton. I sent you a e-mail.
Re: shiftless. Your finger vises are in great condition, they are rare pieces indeed. Here’s a couple of pics of finger vises and the little Prentiss.
The allure of old iron is a curious thing.

Smitty:
Thanks for posting a pic of your little ones. Looks like we have that same little hand vise.
What would it take to pry that miniature blacksmith’s vise out of your hands?
Honza:
Looking really good there.
Good choice on the bottle for scale.

That’s what I was afraid of. I don’t have an army.

Finally found one! Although the graphic shows a cylindrical spindle, all -6- examples that I've seen have the round meatball like our Prentiss 802. The scan isn't the best quality, but it has all of the sizes and styles for the "Star" line of Prentiss vises. Based on my database, it was minimally offered between 1909-1915.
So you got yourself a "420" vise stand from a biker in the desert?

Thanks shiftless - green is his favorite color and this was the closest I could find to match his "radioactive green" Harley Davidson.Ww29:
You’re a great friend!
That’s certainly “extreme” with the green paint.
Paramos are great vises. Or should that be “vices”?
There is, of course, a catch. I'm going to gift it when I visit to use his new lift. [emoji23]

Honestly Jeppen I don’t know how you do it. I’ve looked at hundreds of pages trying to beat you to the punch on the 802 scan. Great job.Finally found one!

Yeah, that 420 stand is half baked for sure.

Anyone know what this vise might be with "132" cast on the side of the dynamic?

Looks very similar to my Rock Island 192 vise

Hey is anyone familiar with this vise? Google search brings up a bunch of new Chinese looking Yost vises. All it says is 76 on the side. Swivel jaw. Any idea how old? Thanks! This is my first Yost vise. I’m pretty impressed so far.

Thanks Smitty it’s in great condition everything is pretty locked up on it.haven’t messed with it to much yet I’m sure it will be a chore getting the pin out like most are.
I always look at the back rim on the swivel jaw behind the locking pin. Yours is in great shape which tells me it had a responsible owner that didn’t use it as an anvil. Hopefully the pin pops after a short soak.

It's funny how life goes, this last two weeks have been hard for me since I put both Parents in hospice care, yesterday my Mother fell and broke her 83 year old hip. For the last 24 hours I have been caring for my Mother and Father. Last night I got a tip from a GJ member (lafester) on a large Parker on Marketplace so I took a much needed break and drove a hour to check it out, I bought it after seeing that this Parker 275 was not only in excellent shape but a swivel jaw. Normally I never show any vises I purchase until they are finished being restored, but this one is now special to me since when I went back to care for my Mother after picking it up and the next hour she took her last breath holding mine and my Father's hand. Her suffering is over and I have no bad feeling's. This vise will get a top notch restoration and be fit on a custom built stand. I look forward to working on this one and it will be my user vise in my retirement days.

Re posting this, 3" Reed Vise. It was stated on another group, that the pins holding the jaws in may be somewhat unique.
I do see a lot of the reeds, the jaws are cast into the body.
What do you guys say, is the Pinned Jaws unique?
