I see quite a few Parker vises here in northeast Iowa. I retired from John Deere and they still use some Parker vises along with Rock Island and some other manufacturers. I have a Parker machinist vise at home and have sold others. The smallest ones bring a premium when found as well as the very largest.I know where there is an enormous Parker vise that supposedly came out of a railroad yard,but the lady isn't quite ready to sell it.She has had a garage sale every year for the last 20 or so and the vise is in plain sight and she gets hit up on it every sale but noone has got it away from her.
