Thanks for the info fellas! 

Does anyone have tips on un-seizing a bullet wilton vice?

Its definitely at least #390 I cannot even get it to budge from a deadlift. Its 36 long by 14.5 tall and 5.25 wide. I can’t find marks anywhere I think on the foot I see a little bit of numbers but im not entirely sure 

Does anyone know a brand? Im guessing trenton or arm and hammer. I can’t find any marks besides under the forged welded plate on both sides it stamped. #390 let me know what you guys think thanks in advance! It has handling holes in the front and back. 

Does anyone know a brand? Im guessing trenton but I could be wrong. Let me know what you think and what the weight is

Its after 1908. They started to put England after 1908. 

Sweet I was thinking one of those 2. Where would the markings be at?

I’ve had this vice for about 2 years now and I have no clue what brand it is. Was going to see if anyone had some sort of idea. It came out of a railroad rounding house in Idaho. 

Thanks in advance!

Its made after 1908. You can tell by the stamp. They added “England” after 1908. 

Oh haha I’ve heard both but yeah that makes sense! Thanks for telling me

Got this little soderfors anvil and would like to know more about it. Is it casted or forged? And an estimated date range. There is a mouse hole in the back of the anvil and nothing in the front. 

Thanks in advance

Ill check that out tomorrow and see what I find!

Sweet thanks for the info guys! I appreciate it. 

I got this little peterwright anvil can anyone estimate the age? All I know it’s before 1908 from the stamping. But the horn makes me believe it can be before 1900’s. But I don’t know

Always! If you ever need any tools or anvils let me know. 

its a beast anvil. Im kinda sad I let her go. Glad it went in good hands. 

Looks pretty decent. I wanna find the manufacturer and just buy it directly and have them ship it to Las Vegas NV. 

Do you have a website link? I might buy one and ill let you guys know how it is. 

If you get one casted make it from 8620. That steel hardeneds well and its really strong. Im no expert though just my opinion. And I personally would do a german style anvil. 2 horns is very helpful while smithing. 

Sweet thank you for the info. I got a little 56 pound brooks anvil in excellent condition. I love it already. Great little anvil for my collection! It still has paint on the face. 

Wanted to see if anyone knows what kind of steel brooks anvils are casted out of and what time period they were in business for. If you have any info it’d be greatly appreciated!

Thats a good idea Thomas   

And dragon that is a possibility   

Yeah thats what I thought I can see a small line  where the forge weld is. I was sure if it was repaired. 

And all 3 holes are threaded should I just stick some bolts in it?

Makes sense. Haha do you know how Peter Wright anvils were made? 

Oh haha thats funny but does the value or anything change about the anvil? The face looks brand new.
