Can anyone give me info on parker vises? I'm not looking for info on a particular model. Just wanting to know when and where they were made.

I have one and do not have any history of them. This belonged to a friend of mines father and has been repaired a couple of times. I do not need it and if anyone else does we should talk about it. It is heavy !

I've owned 3 during my meteoric career buying and reselling Parker stuff over the last 50 years. All were the larger machine-shop fixed benchtop style. All the profit money I expected to make by buying them for peanuts at farm auctions ($25-45) and reselling them to new Parkerphiles was quickly subsumed by the gas I burned and the pulled muscles I experienced lugging them across the trans-Atlantic states to gun shows and shooting expos like the Vintagers, Southern SxS, and etc. I probably made an average of $8-10 dollars apiece on them. My most hysterical moment in marketing and selling came when one guy asked if I would pay shipping on a big one since he'd calculated that driving to a nearby event to pick it up would cost more in gas for his 'monster' truck!
