Description

Antique Trojan 728 Bench Vise Cast Iron Swivel Base 

Antique Charles Parker Co. Trojan No. 728 bench vise, a striking example of early 20th century American industrial craftsmanship. Maker-marked “TROJAN 728,” this heavy cast iron vise features a swiveling base, 4.5" jaws, and a classic screw-driven mechanism built for serious workshop use. Its bold form, integrated anvil, and rich aged patina give it both mechanical utility and strong visual appeal.

Produced under the well-regarded Trojan line—documented in early Parker catalogs—this piece reflects a time when tools were made to last generations. Fully tested and operational, it remains ready for use while doubling as an authentic industrial display piece. A compelling find for collectors, restorers, or anyone looking to add character to their workspace.

Condition:
In good antique condition, fully functional and tested. Shows age-appropriate wear including surface rust, oxidation, and signs of heavy use. Jaws remain in good condition with no major indentations. Presents well with a strong, original patina.

Dimensions:
Overall: 10" x 15" / 17 1/2" x 8"
Jaw Width: 4.5"
Weight: approx. 35 lbs
Soup can shown in photos for scale.
