Parker! You can see it on the collar. Also the jaw shape and numbering.
WTF is THAT?? Never seen anything remotely like it. It also looks one piece... no weld line...
Otherwise, yeah. Charles Parker 975.

You were testing us right? You knew that was a Parker!! Don't tell Catalyst where that Estate Sale is. He's ruthless!
I'm interested in knowing about the hump on the vice. It doesn't look like the jaw can be removed with it in place.

I'm taking a wild plung here but that Parker might have just been made by Union Tool Co. for Parker. Its in too good of condition not to have any paint anywhere on it.Union vise also left off the Pat. Dates and did not paint their vises. Remember, its a wild guess!! Good luck!!

I called Charles Parker IV and he said that is one of his vises. I think that vise has a zit that perhaps Clearasil and a grinder could fix. Actually is just a normal Parker 975. Mr. Parker told me tha OSHA required that "bump" as a safety stop to keep folks from running the dynamic jaw out and onto their toes. That model is called the 975DA...for dumb a#$
