Default PARKER VISE

I bought the contents of a machinist's shop. This came as quite the surprise as I loaded it into my truck. Any info on it would help. Obviously, I'm not going to sell it, but what does one think it is worth?

If it has 4" jaws it would be a No. 974, identified by that number on the left side of the body of my 974. When purchased I decided to have mine refinished by having it sandblasted and then I painted it myself. Cost, all in, was <$250. What is that swastika/4-leaf clover looking thing on the top of the slide in Jerry's pic?

Greg,

It has four different size holes and has a pin in the middle that goes into the flat surface of the vise. I took for granted that it is an original part of the vise.
