This vise is a Parker Bench Div. Union MFG. Co. made in New Britain, Connecticut it has 5" jaws no model # I assume this came along after Chas Parker vises. Any info, age and value would be appreciated asking price is $175.00

I guess I got a Unicorn the one vise none of the experts know anything about. Really would like to know the model # on this 5" vise. Nothing in the database on the Union Parker vise's or are they Parker Union vise's ?

I guess it would be a Union Parker vise since Union MFG co bought Parker.
That happened in the mid 50's and didnt last long so your vise was made around that time.
I think $125 is a good orice for 5" jaw vise in nice condition .

I picked up the same model 5" vise tonight. I found a faint 975 on the bottom of the swivel base. It looked like it could be followed by a letter. Based on other similar looking Union Parker vises online, I'm pretty sure the 975 is the model #.
