See you were predesposed to this darn disease and ya didn,t even know it..:rolleyes:

I thought I would bring this thread to the top for the pleasure of those now engaged in a conversation on another thread about Parker vises and hardware.

Bruce, I have donated a vise for the Parker silent auction this year, I think some one is cleaning it up a bit, it was a large variety maybe 60 lbs, do not know any more right now, Gary

If we have a vise restorer on staff, let us know. All my Parker vises are working tools. It would be nice to spiff them up a bit for the eventual day they become display items.

My Parker vise is also a working tool and like many others could probably use a good restoration. I grew up working on guns and for the longest time didn't even realize it was a Parker vise. Is there a model # anywhere on these? It came from my grandfathers Detroit hardware store in the 1930s. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y.../SHOP-VISE.jpg

Gary,
The vise you donated at last year's Vintage Cup went home with Edgar for a little cleaning up. He was kind enough to donate the one we sold in last years Silent Auction.
