ViseS: keep those INTERESTING VISES and STUFF coming. i know you have more and even your other old cast iron is worth posting maybe with a vise or two in the picture. you can rest for a day or two while the members get their jaws off the floor if you need to.
thanks for sharing. i think i like the 1920's pallet jack (or how old is it) and your metal framed pallet in on picture almost as well as the stack of vises sitting on it.
WELL DONE SIR
SS: REED vises and ROCK ISLANDS are my favorites. all wiltons are not created equal but if those were bullet style vises you turned down when buying your REED you still did ok, but the Wiltons might have been worth more.
ALL: great day on vise thread and i was gone for few hours picking up a suit for my daughter's wedding and i think i had 3 pages to read to catch up and i posted before i left.
cheers and hope you all have a great weekend

The first huge vise I ran across was a reed 108. Don Robertson had it in his building in Jerome Az, damn thing still haunts me ! Those old reeds are tough to beat, early hollands right there with them. Both made in Erie at the time, reed is still at the original location but holland moved on. Erie toolworks was another hometown player too. Lots of cool iron built here in the day, sad to see those days gone. Enjoy that reed !

With respect to my Athol 924-1/2, Any help out there, please?
I need a set of chuck jaws.
If i can't find replacement jaws for it, i may just have to scrap it out.

Have y'all ever seen these? I picked one up from a scrap yard and the other at a local junk shop. They are 530 pounds each. They are book binding glueing "Vises" or more likely considered a press... very cool!

I have seen vertical ones resembling a printing press for the purposes of gluing the bindings....never a horizontal one though.

DURA: can you post up pictures of your Athol over on the Vise Repair 101 thread and i'm sure if it's fixable somebody here will help you. here's the link: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252830
almost anything is fixable with skills and enough money.
VISES: yep that is INTERESTING!! i've never seen one, but i'd like to own one.
thanks again for taking the time to post up some of your stuff. also if you want to help Demo post up more pictures of his stuff that would be awesome if he would let you. i don't think he has even a post for every vise he owns yet, but he's damn near a legend here with his big iron. guessing you learned a bit from him or maybe it's vise versa with all the big stuff you own.
keep posting your STUFF as you have time.
MB: me too, but I can't say i've seen a 500 pounder in either of those styles. that must be some book.

Hey guys. Theres a great buy on eBay for new Wilton 1765's for $245 shipped. 50+ have sold already in just a few hours. Pretty good price for a 70# vise. They are coming from Canada, so there may be customs charges, but I'm not sure. Probably still a great deal.

NIB Wilton, if you need one, can't beat price. (Even if you don't need one, hard to pass up)

Picked up another tube vise.---Believe it's a little better than the first one.---But I still want a bicycle vise,---Know anybody that's got one Zoom?---That's the rare ones.---Oh, and another unicorn would be the cast platform the tube vise comes with.---If anyone was looking right at one, they wouldn't know what they were looking at.---Here's an EBay link showing both of them.

Here's a couple more pics.---B100 has the nicest one I've seen.---Hollands must not have sold many of them.---I suppose that about the time they patented it and the bicycle vise, people started buying cars.
VISEs, love the binder vises.---Keep the good stuff coming.---And when you finally get to the end of your collection in a year or so, then start the reruns.

VA,
I was thinking pretty hard on that one, I was hoping you got it, well done!
That thing is cool!
I was going to pull the trigger, then I remembered I have ALREADY exceeded my ENTIRE COLLECTIBLES BUDGET for 2017 and it's only January, LOL!!!
Take Care Fellas!

Good thing you brought those home. There were a few empty spots on your shelves the last time I looked. "Nature abhors a vacuum" .
Seriously, It looks to me like you cleaned out a high school shop class or something like that.
The monster pipe handled sledge hammer should come in handy. Gotta be what 25 pounds? No...more!
Please don't tell us that you scored a truck full of vises for something crazy like maybe $200

Now I just need to figure out where to park my cars...

In Newport RI with the wife. I promised her no vises this weekemd! Well I lied...saw this 1906 Emmert in rhe local classifieds. Fully functional, complete (I think) and not rusted frozen. Only cost me the asking price of $40 (actually cost me 190 because I had to buy the wife a $150 hand carved stone box to keep her happy)

Send it my way JOE, I'm sure I can scrounge all the missing parts and restore it to its 110 year old glory!
Nice haul!
Mike
EDIT: Looks like it's missing the tilt mechanism, or did it not make the picture?

My first Wilton finished, date code 7-945. Unfortunately it has a dynamic support repair, but it seems well done and I've whacked it pretty hard to test. I made the balls for the handle, posted in the repair thread. Still need an end cap of some sort.

Joe,. You are missing the tilt bracket unless there is another piece not shown. For $40 you can't get much better than that !!
I hate this pad, refreshed it and I am still three posts behind.

What size is the vise? I may have a cap laying here for it. As well as a swivel base.

$245 is less than half price and free shipping on a 71# item?
I'm super-tempted, but rather suspicious this is more credit card fraud, like the HF jacks.
OTOH, he does have fairly steady but low-scale sales history and a photo of a pallet load of vises. I am torn.
