Allen0311 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Picked this Columbian 6” Vise at an estate sale today. Weighs around 70+ pounds. Vise is complete and in good working condition. Jaws clamp evenly. Plan on cleaning up and building a stand in upcoming weeks. Will post more pictures to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Nice vise, nice score. Mind saying what you gave for it? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Excellent find, it will serve you well. Tag says $240, not bad for a six inch Columbian vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I didn't zoom the tag, it's kind of a PITA the way I have this stupid thinky machine set up. Thanks IDFC. Okay, that's asking, what'd you actually give for it Allen? If you don't mind. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen0311 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 It was $249 asking. I gave $200 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That's quite a good deal these days, but when that deal is a long-gone memory, you'll still have a great vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Not bad but I'm no judge of smithing tool prices in Georgia USA. In Alaska a bidding war could've gotten going. I'd be pleased with the deal. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Check the front ski jump for a weight number. IIRC my 6.5" Columbian post vise is 100#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
