Re: Unknown Vintage Vise
I own a Parker 474. That one is marked 449. It definitely looks like a Parker. I would see what size the jaws are. My 474 has 3.75 in. I think Mohawk Dave might know, he is trying to find old Parker...

Re: The VISES of Garage Journal
Nice resto, Mark. I like using these smaller vises that can be found cheap as a platform to experiment with non traditional paint jobs.

Re: Vise value
Actually, I was thinking same thing outlawmws. I have never seen one like that with cast in pipe jaws. I like these vises, with machinist or stamped steel slide.

Re: Vise value
That appears to be a 3 1/2 you have posted. If it is a stamped steel slide around $40 -$ 60 dollars here in northeast Ohio.

Re: replacement vise jaws sticker shock
If you can't find the money for new jaws, I'll gladly take the vise off your hands. Price does suck, but so does paying 4 dollars for a gallon of gas. Good vise and new jaws should last you 40 years....

Re: Columbian vise paint question
Ok, I figured bottom to top to drive them out. The top of both my Columbians appear to have weld or lead covering the pins. Perhaps they were just ground flush. I don't know, but it sure blends in...

Re: Columbian vise paint question
My 504 has curved wording on left side. I did see previous thread,but nothing was resolved. Now if some can shed some light on which way to drive out jaw pins, I'll be able to finish them.

Re: Columbian vise paint question

Columbian vise paint question
For those of you that have Columbian vises, was there paint on the slide and handle? I have two old Columbians, a 504 and a 403 1/2, both appear to have original paint and both are painted. I know...
