I have a C Parker Bench Vise Meridian CT Model C. I can't find any information on models that contain letters instead of numbers. I was trying to find out when the vise was made and why they have all kinds of info on the models with numbers and no info on the models with letters.

Most likely a casting flaw. Try searching for a C. Parker No. 0 vise instead

Just had the same question.
Short answer: No. C was made in 1902
Click for the vise thread, page 90, post 1795. It has page 235 from the 1902 Geo. Worthington Co. catalog.

TMI . . . too much information !! The OP was almost convinced that vise was a dud made in China . . . . . C for China !!
Could have made a trade for $20 for that "China" vise !! . . LOL . .
Seriously, nice old vise you've got there OP. Let's see restoration !!
It's the real deal. Be sure to include 12 oz beer can for reference in size of pic !!
