I found some information in "The Parker Story" on vises for you. According to it, no other American manufacturer of vises produced more vises and vise models. Most models were offered in at least four sizes. They produced them for over 110 years and they ranged in size from tiny jewelers vises to huge vises in excess of 200 lbs.
There are about 10 pages devoted to vises in volume II of "The Parker Story" which gives a brief history of the vise business and shows detailed advertising of many of their offerings from the 1886 hardware and housewares' catalog and a Parker vise catalog.
A good reference if your interested in Parker vises.
