Vises are a vice of mine and I really got a lot of new info on Parker vises from this thread.I have seen Parker vises in the John Deere works and in railroad yard workshops around here and they still are using them.Just as good as the guns and in almost as much variety.

Default Swivel Jaw Parker Vise ?

As a full time rifle maker I have looked for a good working condition 4" to 5" jaw Parker for many years. I have found a few that were pretty useless and beyond repair and I have missed 2 good working examples on the web by just hours. If anyone has or knows of a rear swivel jaw vise for sale please contact me at 435-755-6842 or echolslegend@comcast.net

Thank You

D'Arcy, what you want is a Number 272. Good luck finding that one, I've been looking for years. I have one which for all practical purposes is the same, but not marked by any maker.

I've had a trainload of Parker vises, but never one of those. So the stationary jaw can actually swivel. How about that.

Edgar, that looks like a late Parker vise - what year span was that model made?

It's post war, but I'm not sure how long it was in production. Reed & Prentiss, individually made a similar one. Those two companies merged, and still exist today. Their vises were much less expensive than the 282 Parker. I just figured out, the one I have is a Prentiss.

The first one is a Reed, the 2nd, a Prentiss.
