Saved a parker!!

[TMG76]

I was talking to a guy who came in to my shop to have some work done and he saw my collection of littlestown vices. He said "well I got this old little one in my shed in the scrap pile. I think it works, you can have it if you want it." I jumped at the opportunity, and low and behold it was a parker no.83 1/2! The jaws are a little chewed up on the top side, but the inside faces are absolutely clean, and it operated flawlessly and closes square. Guess I'll have to start a collection of parkers now lol.
