January 2, 20206 yr Took my vice apart and threw it in vinegar over new years and got to it today, far from perfect still and ill be getting a wire wheel tomorrow to make it a quicker job but managed to find a markers mark which i didn't expect ATTWOOD's BEST STOURBRIDGE WARRANTED
January 3, 20206 yr Author yup, made in England, i got a little excited as there is a Stourbridge near me but its not the place they where made and definitely, just waiting for someone to visit then ill be off to buy some wirey things to clean it up
January 4, 20206 yr Author Thanks! To be honest after seeing it im half temped to do the anvil itself too, would be give an excuse to clean up the edges a little while im there. Any idea if this marking could be something from the manufacture? Its a different letter set but its not the initials of the previous two owners, noticed it this morning... Along with the area of rust i missed =| "T . M"
February 11, 20206 yr That is an exceptionally nice vise. Wow. Outstanding find and respectful restoration. That's a vise that would never leave my shop once it had entered. Dan
February 14, 20206 yr That must have been a lot of vinegar. What did you find large enough to put it in?
