Unidentified old vice....

[PDXDave]

Hey all, new guy here with a serious love of old tools.
I'm trying to identify an old Vice I just rescued from scrap and I can't seem to come up with anything.
It needs a little love, but I know I can save her.
I've searched threads here with no luck, so I'm turning to the group with a typical new guy post.
Thank you!

Yep. You have yourself a very nice vise. Welcome to our hangout.

Yeah, a you **** find. OP, you'll have to pardon the expression, it's a compliment here.

I had no idea it was a Wilton....
I'm familiar enough to typically know one when I see one, but the fact it's not marked as such threw me.

Thanks for the feedback and quick Response!

nice save !
did you pay scrap price for it? if so, that's a total "YOU ****"

Welcome to the Forum, keep finding good stuff in your hunting.

It's worse....
It was a freebie.

We have a very generous boss and as long as I don't need a crane to load it or truck to haul it, and I ask nicely, h typically has no issue with me picking stuff from the loads.

I have a vintage Cornwell top box that I rescued as well that I'm pretty enamored with, even though I have a late 80's Mac combo that I bought new.

Nice find. I wonder why it wasn’t marked Wilton?
maybe had a sticker plate that fell off? Just a guess…

welcome aboard!

Yes, they had stickers. Some stickers said “Wilton“ and other stickers said “Snap On”
Exactly the same vise except for the paint color.
