Did Parker ever make a Vise with a rotating Jaw?

My father-in-law has a 50s or 60s era vise that bot the base and the jaws rotate on it so you can change the angle you are working. I have never seen a parker vise that does this, but I am not exactly knowledgeable on vises so I thought I'd ask.

They did make one with one pivoting jaw to hold angled work.

Parker 474 apparently is a swivel base with fully rotating set of jaws.

Something to keep an eye out for I guess.

These pictures are from a long thread from back in 2011. Jeff Kuss had the rotating stock vise, which also has the swivel base. I have never seen a vise with these features AND the adjustable back jaw for out-of-parallel work.
