Vintage Minature Bench Vise, 1 5/8 " Jaws, 5 5/8 " Long. Prentiss Jewelers Vise?
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:926243 | Featured Refinements: Bench Vise |
Original/Reproduction: Original | Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown |
Weight 1 lb 8.8 Ounces.
We could not find a name anywhere.
There is a 7 and a smaller 4 next to it on the under side of the swivel head and where it mounts.
Appears the original paint may have been a dark red.
Note pointed feet or mounting points- pointed, not rounded like most. We believe it may be a Charles Parker ( C.Parker) since it is a New Haven Connecticut estate find - minutes from Charles Parker manufacturing in Meriden.
I've only seen th...is base on C.Parker and we have seen and sold several and actually own a larger one with the same style
base.
A knowledgeable Ebayer has told us they believe this to be a Prentiss Jewelers vise.
Thank you for the help.
We researched that and we did find one site that sells replacement pins for a vise that appeared the same and they called it a Prentiss.
With that said all the other Prentiss we found in the search had different foot designs - none were pointed like this one. We aren't experts, so please do your research and make your own decision.If someone can definitively tell us the manufacturer we would be very appreciative and will adjust the listing accordingly.
