Description
I believe this to be one for the collector. William Marples & Sons No 1 4672 Eclipse Parallel Vice in as-found condition. All free-moving and working as it should. Needs a good clean. Anyone “in the know” refurbishing it, I’m sure would make it look stunning. Info I have here is from the William Marples and Sons site from where I sought any information and for which I’m grateful. It is in fact, this particular vice that’s shown on there.
“The old vice shown here started out as #1937 in 1897 but the number changed to #4672 in 1909 and remained so until the last appearance in 1938. It started as being available as numbers 1; 2 and 3 but by 1909 a larger series was for sale…… 00; 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 and 6, but #6 was not shown in 1938. It was described as an ‘Eclipse‘ vice and was listed under ‘Amateurs’ Parallel Vices‘”.
It weighs in at a stone so please bear that in mind with the price. Can arrange collection if you’d rather. Use the form sales form above here (click small + cross) for any sales enquiries. Can provide more images if required.
