next door to one of our favorite antique shops is a relatively new "antique" shop owned by a woodworker- mostly - he has tools. The last few trips, I have walked out of there with a few odds and ends and one nice woodworker's bench- not real old- but solid and a nice size to fill a gap - and it had an end and a side vise plus the bench dogs had not been lost

so- since i have been watching for one- I walked down his row of vises (might go back for the nice original vera vice) but for today - it was this #953 Parker vise with 3" jaws, in great condition at a reasonable price

so - a picture of my two Parker vises






plus some accessories, he said they were for another Parker vice he had already sold-that had a rounded top to the bar. I see the jaw caps in the Parker Story's reproduced vise catalog - but not the other pieces - any idea which vise they go to? its going to be a small one
