Here is the picture of the vice I posted earlier about. Pretty heavy I am guessing 80 lbs.

That would be a model 249. The X, often seen on all models, isn't part of the model number, but a number impressed by the molder, when he notices a broken piece of sand from the mold (Green sand molding is dry sand, water, bentonite clay and cereal flower. When the moisture in the molders pile of sand begins to dry out the remaining binders become somewhat brittle, and small bits, usually in an included pocket, can break off when the pattern is drawn out) This alerts the 'cleaning room' to look for a defect which might require additional grinding.
Your hard earned $200 might be better spent on something more rare, that a 'smith' might have had on his bench. Like..this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Cha...0AAOSwpDdVOtDO

but what do I know?

Those babies with the separate thingy on the bottom may be rare, but they can break off if too much pressure is put on the bolt. I would rather bolt the vice to the bench. I have a broken example of the pictured vice that I would sell cheap to someone who could weld the bolt back in place.

I can't imagine how the casting would break where the bolt is threaded into it....

It requires very little force to tighten it to the point where the vise will not rotate... I have one and use it all the time.

Horses for courses. I can break anything given a big enough hammer

Maybe we can touch base at Baltimore if you remind me before the show. By the way, the casting did not break. As I recall, the bolt broke.

That's even more surprising than if the casting had broken.

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
