question about a vise

Bad news Larry, that vice is junk. Ship it to me for proper disposal...I"ll pay the shipping.
 
I think it weighs just over 100lbs?

Can't see it weighting that much, maybe 50#. could be wrong, Shmbo saids I'm wrong once in a while. I'll pay the shipping to my place and weight it fer ya.
 
Oh, it's the little one, I gots one a little bigger. I still managed to twist the screw out of it, with a 6' cheater bar, back when I was 18. It was my first welding shop project in college welding. Managed to weld it back together, it was friction welded, 'fore I broke it, I migged it back, but got it almost 1/8" from true, but it still works!

I believe Parker was made in Baltimore, IIRR.
 
Those are very nice vises, if the price is right, I'd be interested, assuming you're not across the country from me... Where abouts are you located?
 
Parker made in CT.
See attached catalog photo I found on Garage.com.

I am going to see a Parker 874, 4" jaws, opens to 6 3/4" and weighs a tad under 60 lbs next week.

Ask is $150. Higher then I would like to pay BUT
it has been restored and includes the original swivel wrench.

Still cost a lot less then buying a new vise this big at today"s prices and questionable quality.
