Millhand Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This one was in the pile i brought home from conneticit. Looked like she spent many years buried in some yard lol. But when i opened her up the screw and box looked like they were new. Couldn't help but spend a few days bringing her back to her former glory. ENJOY! Had already cleaned her up a bit before i had taken any pics. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 A veritable work of art. I would say, "Not for sale." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I will pass that on on to my kids. Onto project number two! It is in much better shape though. Just a take down and wire brushing will make her shine. Swiming in posts! Year ago i couldn't find one now I have a collection LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Back when I started buying them in Central Ohio (1990's); I could get a 4" vise, complete and in good condition for US$20 to $25 my 6"+ vises ran me $50; I had a bunch come through my shop as I was always getting heavier vises till I realized I needed some light ones two. I put a limit on how many I would keep: 10 (and ended up with 12). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
