Ok thanks. I didn’t know you could buy replacement parts back then, but it does make sense as things get used broke or wore out. No point to put it all in the trash. Back then you fixed and reused.  Thanks for the info Stash. 

Thank you. And I’ll will take your tips and try them tonight and see if I can get better photos 

Hello. I just picked my first post vise. It was very rusted and didn’t look like much,  After I started to clean a lot of rust and a tar like substance off of it I found the stamping that says 
Wilson M?? Co. 
London
Conn. 
No 100
It is hard to read but that’s all the information I could find stamped into it. It is about 39” tall but the bottom of the leg is broken, jaws are 5 3/8 wide and about 70ish lbs. lead screw is about 1 1/4 Diameter. It looks to be well-built lots of forge welding Really decorative in the manner that it has deep flutes and all the edges seem to be chamfered when it was forged. So if anybody has any information I would appreciate it. It is just for my own essay and curiosity I need to build and make a new spring and mounting bracket for it as it did not Have it when I bought it but it’s going to be put to use. Have a great one guys thanks again

Well I'm in America. Up north in Montana to be more  specific, I do understand you don't know the market or condition. Thanks for your time. 

It is set up for nat gas. And what is a good resale price. New they are outrageous. 

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this forum so I hope I'm asking this question in the right area. I just picked up a Johnson power burner 342 a few weeks back. It was my buddy's grandfathers, so the price was right, but my question is. are they any good? It looks like a gas hog. But I was thinking just using the motor and blower for my own build and ditch the rest. Thanks for reading and your help. Btw just a hobbyist do small smithing stuff, horse shoes tongs etc. and blades been using a lp 3 burner I made some years back. Just thought maybe time to up grade a bit.
