congratulations looks like you did very well. The vice and the saddle are two excellent buys.

I bought something useful for a change.

The Parkinson vice was made in Bradford. A friend of mine had one of their woodworking vices. Not sure if it's true but he told me they came up with the quick release mechanism. Very well thought of vices.

Yes indeed, I was impressed with the quality and the quick-release is a godsend, although I'd never heard of Parkinson, maybe they finished a long time ago.

Brooks still make saddles like that, it could be quite new, looks it anyway

There must still be a demand for them. The man I bought this from said he'd had it for about 30 years and never used it. I think it's 1970's from the 'England' script.

@@The_Car_Sanctuary Yours is new! or perhaps NOS. I bought one (used) last year in very good condition for £40 inc, delivery and I thought that was a bargain. It's the same saddle with the double rail. I also have the version with the single rail but that came with the bike.

That is a bargain indeed, I gave 30 or 35 for this one. I wouldn't want to pay the new retail price...
