I think that's a piece that hooks a small chain to the swivel pin to keep it from getting lost. Some of the old catalog pictures showed it that way if I remember right.Hope a fellow GJ member scores this one in Portland. (pretty scarce). What's the purpose of the horizontal peg? Is it used to drive out the vertical peg if it get's stuck? I doubt it'll be cheap and I don't really see the usefullness of a swivel jaw vise.
No, it won't be cheap.---I got mine before they caught on.---Now they are way out of my range.---I kind of like the swivel jaw aspect for holding wedge, and odd shaped objects, because you get more bite per square inch than a conventional vise.Hope a fellow GJ member scores this one in Portland.

According to the guy running the sale it went for 125 One of the first things sold. He grabbed it and stumbled out to the checkout stand struggling under the weight.Hope a fellow GJ member scores this one in Portland. (pretty scarce). What's the purpose of the horizontal peg?

That's a nice vise design. I think Record made some in that style but those'd have their letters on. Almost asked if it's steel but I can see how it cracked under the jaw support so it probably is not. Might be French? I think many French vises had less branding (remember some that only said "tout acier", which means all-steel, but no other branding...).Hello all, would anyone at GJ be able to identify this vise I recently acquired ?
I’m over in the U.K. and this type seems quite unusual here, I think the description would be oval slide type ?
No makers marks / stampings or casting marks, it weighs 60kg according to my basic scales.
It has the remains of green paint in places under the oil and grease.
Handle replaced at some time too.
10 - 1/4 inch opening and 6 - 3/4 inch wide jaws.
It is pictured next to my Record 36 for scale.
Any help on identifying it would be much appreciated,
Cheers Chris in U.K.
Damm...

Absolutely love the shelving, that is just the cat’s pyjamas
That is a Pow'rful collection and display!
it looks like a Stanley Sweetheart vise, but I have never seen one with interchangeable jaws.
I picked up a couple new vises this weekend. Samson 5175 marked 5/1939, a Dawn 3-1/2SP, and a rather odd small clamp on. I’ve seen these plenty of times but never one with removable jaw inserts. No markings anywhere to be found.
$10 for the Dawn?!?

Nice find. It’s definitely a Stanley Sweetheart, I should have a stamp on the back. I believe yours was made in the very early 40’s before the war broke out. You rarely see the replaceable jaw models and I was lucky enough to find two of them. Once we entered WWII Stanley shifted production and made machine gun belts for the war effort. The Stanley Sweetheart vises never went back into production after the war.

Outlaw has is right.
No actually I feel kind of bad now. I paid 20 for the Samson he told me $1 for the small one and threw the dawn in for free. I also bought the baldor buffer in the background.
You ****!

It is a No. "761"
I've never seen a sweetheart era catalogue with the removable Jaws. Earliest I've read is 1949 a completely different style of clamp on though, everything earlier from what is available to read is "fitted". If you find anything I'd like to see it good buddy

Does anyone know if the old style swivel base will fit newer style Wilton bullet vises? I might be picking up a 9400 soon a 101028 and it looks very similar to the current base. The current ones are marked 101081 for the inner ring and 101198 for the base. I’ve also seen 101082 for the base...
Fisher? Pretty rare. Looks in great shape.Here's a few goodies I picked up from an auction on Friday. Pretty happy about finding a certain post vise! Also a few good bases to be used for stands.
