Neighbor's Parker Vise

1 Attachment(s)

I have recently moved to the rolling plains of North Texas. When we moved into our rent house, I noticed our neighbor had a very large vise mounted in his carport. Went by today and got a look at it and it turns out to be a very large Parker Vise. Will have to try and find the model number sometime, but here is a pic.

What are the claws in the vise meant to grab?

I've never seen one of those, but would love to find one at the flea market for $20-30. I'd snap that up in a second!
