Hi all,
I've meant to post this for awhile, but I finally took pictures. My nieghbor was cleaning out the basement and was going to toss this out for scrap, but I saved all 90lbs of it. The jaw opens all the way smoothly, even though there is wear on it. On the back of the slide you can see where it was used as an anvil.

I read up on the history a little (in the vice thread) if you have any info on this model I'd love to see it. I saw something that estimated 1920's, who knows.
Eventually I'll restore it, until then I'm just keeping it safe.
Oh...I have the handle, just took it off because it's a little awkward to store installed.
Brian

Please repost on the main vise thread. The guys over there would love to hear the story of that old Parker. I'm sure I am not the only one glad to see a useable and valuable vintage vise rescued from a fiery death.
