Found a Parker I didn't know I had!

Bill, It's a real shame what happens to some things that shouldn't happen. In '42 before Dad joined the Navy, he took the bumpers off our '39 Olds and gave them to the Victory Scrap Drive (I helped him try to bend them up on the curb; it didn't work). My Mother said that if you're going to give the bumpers from my car to the Drive, you can give that damned shotgun (12ga DHE) to them too. Patriatism won the day. Guess which half of the story is true.

Fred, Probably one big reason so many of the vises survived here in CT.Was that they were used for the war effort. The company I worked for Bodine Assy Systems built a machine during the war for assembling primers. A lot of folks here in CT had something to do with firearms manufacture during the war.

Robin ...Sorry for veering.
