Fellow vise aficionados, I have yet another offering from my father's recent spat of vise restorations. Should be the last one for a while as he's switching back to a few drill presses in the queue (just picked them up from me last week!). :bounce:

On to the goods, we have a Parker 953 that's been disassembled, blasted, smoothed out, primed, painted and the jaws and handle polished. About as good a condition as you're going to find, I suspect. My dad put a lot of work into this one and it really cleaned up nice. :bowdown:

The vise has 3" jaws and weighs in around 23 lbs.

Let's call it $200 shipped (FedEx w/tracking, to contiguous 48) for GJ members. SOLD!!!

Can ship it elsewhere, but likely at increased cost. Willing to work with any interested parties though, so definitely PM and we can figure something out.

Pics below, fire away with questions or comments and enjoy! :thumbup:

Thats an antique! For that working piece of functional art, $225 is very reasonable. When was the last time you saw the top of the bar look so perfect. The total vise is near perfect. If it were mine, I'd let it sit on Ebay at $299.

That is Beautiful! I'm with AUTOPTS, Put it on EBay for at least $299, crate it up and wait for someone to NAIL IT! You just need a bigger audience, and I know they (the buyer) will pay to have it shipped too... When the right guy see's those polished jaws... ****!
