Trying to get a guy to respond on one it is a model 202 and he wants $75. I do not know if it is a good price.

I also wanted to say that Mr. Spencers story was very interesting. I think that half the problem with products today is that we do not have the generations of craftsman like we used to.:bigbye:

The link I posted in post 10 has a lot of good information on Parker vices, however it is not an all encompassing list by any means. Witness this 238 lb. # 6 monster with 8" wide jaws which is not listed. Which brings up another question. Does anyone understand the numbering system of Parker vices? It seems to have nothing to do with size or type of vice.

How much for the wagon?

John,
The wagon and the vice are not mine. I do have several Parker vices but my largest one is about half the weight of that #6. I like that wagon too and may build one like it.
Thanks,
Tim

I have a bunch of vices too, but, alas, only a few are the cast steel kind. Someone has more anvils than I do also.

what a beauty and monster of a vise.... charlie

My #107 has the same problem as the #6 does, no swivel. My #107 is mounted on the end of my loading bench and there are many jobs that it can't do conveniently because of its configuration. By the way, the #107 is a 132 pounder with a 16" bar. According to the chart, it opens to 10 1/2 inches. I have a #973 on the other end of the bench that gets a lot more use.

More Parker Vice Eye Candy!
 

Here are a few photographs of a Semi-Steel, Solid Bar, 229X Parker vise, showing 1908 and 1910 patient dates, with 3 1/8" smooth jaws that came from the pattern shop at the Fox Company. It opens to 6 1/2". It has a tag on it from the late 1929 Inventory taken during the A.H. Fox Gun Company sales to Savage. I bought two work benches with them mounted at the Fox Products Company bankruptcy sale. The other photograph is of a small Parker vise, a Parker Brass Anvil, and a Parker Vise Sales bear. I also have a massive, very high Parker vise that came out of Fox's heat treating department. It is over at my son's place, I'll try and get over for a photo sometime this week. Life is Good, Treat it With Respect!

Tom, is the anvil marked?
