Parker H vice

Beaver Bob · 10-26-2018, 10:16 AM

I recently came into this large Parker vice.. was going to mount it on my work bench... Then came into a Parrot type that will be better for my spot... This is what I think is a rare Vice as it is lettered "H" and weighs 62 lbs. has 4" jaws and opens 8 inches... I would like to learn all I can about this vice, so I'm posting this up for people to comment on it... (Edger?) , it has a patent date on the draw bolt keeper of Nov 26 1867 and lots of original green paint...I may move it to Ebay if interests abound...

A photo would be nice.

Vise, a vise, a very nice vise. A vise.

I’ve never seen that vise, but there are a lot that I haven’t seen as they made over one hundred variations. Not too certain about the green paint being original. To my knowledge, the only colors were black and blacker.

Thank you Edger for chiming in, I thought that the paint was maybe the wrong color, but its been there a long time... I thought if anyone would know about these it would be you.. Bob

Well, you came to the right place Robert. I'm sure there are some folks on here that have partaken in just about every "vice" in the dictionary !
