So I’m not very knowledgeable in the blacksmith field as you can see. Understood that it’s indeed not that old. 1933 sounds pretty old when your 26 lol and with out a doubt the oldest tool I own. Is there any way to fix the top screw or should I not touch it? The vise is located here in south jersey.

So a few days ago I came across what I just thought was a over sized vise, I knew it had age to it but didn’t know anything else about it. With some research I found out that I had a 1934 Fischer #4 double screw vise. For its age I’d say it’s in pretty good shape. Only noticeable flaw is the top screw is stripped about 4” closest to the front. Looking to see if anyone here has some more knowledge on the history of the vise and maybe what the big guy is worth! I appreciate any info y’all can give me on the tool!
