Chas Parker Vise

Hey, just saw this show up on local CL.

Never seen this kind of thing around here much. He says it works fine, may have some initials welded on it. Look like a worthwhile project?

i have one on my winch truck. it doesn't have the pin or whatever sticking up from behind the back jaw though. tough vise has held up to alot of abuse and weather. i would definitly give 25 for it.

****** it up. Now!

The rear swivel jaw is a cool feature.

Just got home with my old Parker vise.

For $20, I'm very happy.

I've been wanting to restore an old vise for a while, now I have one.

It's got three mounting tabs, is this typical? It's got some extra stuff welded on it, but the jaws are in good shape, all the pins are there, it moves fine. I think the knobs or levers to loosen the swivel jaw and swivel base are gone/modified??

My wife is out of town with the camera right now, or I'd post some more pics.

I saved the picture from the ad, here it is.

Says 383 1/2 A on the side of the body, 983 1/2 A is stamped on the bottom of the swivel. Weighs 48 lbs.

For $25, you can't go wrong. Nice buy!
