A 1910 C.(Charles) Parker 206-5. You guys may know the name as the Parkers Bros gun company founder. She spotted it at a steam thresher show, one of the antique junk vendors had it so she bought that and a big Anvil.

From the days of old. Very cool factor! 🙂
if it's anything like their side by sides it's been a good one.
Anvil, anvil ,,,,, this ol’ blacksmith wants to see.
Beautiful. I love the old tools.
Made in America and all that.
Thank you, Sir.
I set it on my other Anvil just for you. The guy I bought it from painted it silver, think it was done by the guys that go around doing grain bins as all his bins and buildings had the same thing. I will probably sandblast it sometime but haven't got around to it. Another beer can in pic for scale(and I'm drinking it and it was a handy place to set it down lol)
Guess I forgot to get this one in the picture as well.
Looks like that old vise was well used and perhaps abused.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Like the white one, be nice if some of the old ones could talk ,,,,,,
Great score
Awesome! Love them old tools. I inherited this (mechanic for Lehigh County Public Works) a decade ago…use it all the time.
Looks like the one at my friend's shop. It's on top of a car rim with a square pipe to get it up to waist level. It needs to be on a truck wheel for more stability.
You need one of these to go with the others..

Great find and what a great wife
You have
You're right, I just bought them both haha.
They are pretty cool and have been on my watch list for awhile, just never got around to buying one. Glad I could help you spend your money Travis.
