I sold mine because to be honest it was too big. I needed a lower bench
very nice matt did you look at the ball vice on fleebay?
Aye, I saw that ball vice you mentioned. Didn't bother with that one though as I had my eye on that Parkinson No.8.
I saw this yesterday. Not really your type of thing but possibly the same company.
It's a vice. Interest pretty much guaranteed. Yup, it's the same company. That one is of their older style. Judging by the way they're designed/built, I'm guessing they must have made those from around the time the company started to the point where they introduced the more precise twin rod type. Not seen a catalogue snippet which shows that type as yet though, so it's only a rough guess as to time period. Here's one I prepared earlier.
You can see better in this photo that they're a rather loose fitting assembly. No machined sliding surfaces as such on these, with a slightly loose fit between the slide and body/housing.
You'd make a good dealer with that attitude CTBGo on, you know you want to. It is only £15, and Thirsk is not too far.
Nice bit of history too.

woo hoo picked this up today free gratis, no6 record (pre Irwin) wouldn't wind out, turns out the retaining pin for the spring was missing........
Just picked this Woden beauty up last weekend, really good nick and not been misused. Just need a little tlc
out of interest matt and being as you are a vice aficionado where would one get some new pins? I have replaced the missing one with a split pin at the mo but would like a proper pin.Nice. Always amazes me how those pins manage to drop out. They're generally sods to remove when you want to get them out, yet they occasionally seem to just disappear on their own. I'll never figure that one out.
