CTaylorJr Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I got this vise from a family member and can't find any reference online about it. The picture with the writing says "American Red Seal No. 65A". It's around 75 pounds Anyone have any clue as to age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Did you do a web search? Lots of hits on Yahoo. The first hit was about "American Scale" vises and the availability of new parts. The company was sold to American Scale and evidently still makes the vises. It may not be about THAT vise but it tells us something about the company that made it and what happened to it. Also a couple hits down the page was a site selling parts for American Red Seal tools. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTaylorJr Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I forgot that this is the forum that assumes everyone is an idiot. Yes, I did a web search, as stated in my first sentence..., Yes I see that the company went out of business, etc... The QUESTION I had was about the age of this. I find references to LOTS of other models, but the 65A seems to be one model that isn't referenced. Also, most of the "Red Seal/Scale" embossing I see have "Guaranteed" on them, while this one does not. So, any ideas? In case anyone else is interested in the Red Seal/American Scale, here is a link... http://viseinfo.com/?page_id=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Well the switch over in names would give one data point on age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
