D'Arcy

do you need the weight of the big vice or is it the swivel feature that you are looking for

a gunsmith's vice (in the front) will give you that, the blue one in the back is the non-swivel Parrot vice that is the parallel jaw version. They can be adjusted on two planes to position the work

Thought that I would bring this one to the top after doing a search on Chas Parker vises. Killing time in an antique shop Today I found a Model 234 vise made or at least marked 1910. Surprisingly nice condition. It is a large bench vise/anvil. Tried searching on line for this model but did not find any information. Anyone have one of these or can share any information it would be great.

I can't find my paperwork, but I know it's here somewhere.
Go to Garagejournal.com, or Shopfloortalk.com. There have been so many threads on Parker vises, you'd think someone woud have writen a book on them by now

Thank you Edgar. I am going back down there today and look at it again and will take a picture. Will head over to the sites you mentioned to see what I can find.

Thanks for reviving this thread. Here's a Parker 974 vise that I purchased and then refinished a few years ago, 4" jaws that open to 5 1/2".

well- now I have to think about where i would put it if i get it

wondered through an antique store and in the back was a fair sized 249X 83 pound 4" jawed Parker vise - pretty rusty on the outside- but it ran in and out smooth - think i can pick it up for about 200- just need to find room for another vise
