Robin,Great find! Years ago when I first started collecting these infernal guns.I discovered that the shop I worked in literally had hundreds of the Parker vise's. Since then I have seen many many more.

So Dave, what happened to the "hundreds of vises" you found in the shop where you worked?

They were sold at auction with the rest of the equipment as that is another family owned company that didn't survive. But not to worry Bill a couple found their way home....

I have worked in several tool/die shops here in CT. and it seems they all had at least a couple Parker vises in use.
