Benjaman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 So I scored a 7 inch post vice the other day. Unsure of its identification. Not too knowledgable on vices. The only thing stamped I could find was a 50 with a line under it. After I got the 100 years of rust broke loose it worked just fine lol. I'll get a picture of the stamp when I get home. I thought I had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Many were never marked by the manufacturer other than say the weight as that is how they were sold. The mount looks similar to an Iron City vise I have. Some Iron City vises will have a small 6 pointed star with the name inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yup. Very few were marked. Sorry By the way great vise and a most uncommon size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjaman Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's pretty rough on the outside. There is still cross hatches in the jaws though, itle make me a good vice if I ever get to build a stand for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I agree with Bigundoctor about maybe being an IRON CITY (meaning Pittsburgh). The star stamp is normally on the right hand side of the movable leg, as you're facing the front of the vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
