Hey guys where would be the correct thread to ask questions about a odd date code on a old Wilton bullet vise?

I tried asking chat GPT and Gemini and they both said it was from around the 1950s. I don't know how much validity there is to that though. It said the q stamped vices are rare but they do exist. That's why I was asking here because I am just not too sure how much truth there is to that

Awesome, thank you very much!

Hey guys I recently purchased a Wilton 350 with a swivel base. It is in great condition but seems to have a odd date code on the bottom of the slide. Does anyone know when the spice was made? From the research I have done I am coming up with the 1950s but honestly it looks in too good of...

I'm not sure if this is the correct sub forum to post this in so if there is another place on GJ I should post this please let me know Thank you

Hey guys I just bought this Wilton 350 swivel mount. Having a hard time figuring out the date code on the bottom of the slide. Here is a couple pictures, any info you guys have would be appreciated

Shot in the dark but do any of you guys know where I can find either one or two jaws for a Chas Parker 974? This is one of my favorite vices but unfortunately one of the Jaws is broken on the bottom side. I do not have the missing piece as it was like that when I bought it. Here is a pic

That would be amazing, thank you!

Hi RTM, so are you saying that it should be a 12-24? I am located in Stuart Florida

Actually here is a better close up

Is this what you mean? If I get any closer my camera starts to lose focus. If you need a closer picture I can use my endoscope

Hello, I have tried my thread gauge panel which is brand new and I've also tried two different hardware stores with the same results. I have also tried removing a different vice jaw bolt and that one had the same results as well

Thank you so much for all of the help! I tried matching the threads up with a 10-24 and that was no good, I tried the 1/4-20 and that was no good. I then matched it up to a 10-32 and that seems to be pretty darn close. As I said earlier if I try to screw the bolt in a 10-32 hole it will only go...

Thank you for this advice. The closest sae thread size I can find is 10-32. Neither my thread gauge for the hardware stores thread gauge has a 10-20 so I'm not sure if that would be better. Here is what I have so far, will have to try my Google fu to see what I can find on the internet

Hey guys this little 3 in clamp-on Stanley vice was missing one of the screws that hold in one of the Jaws. I have searched high and low to find this screw / bolt and have come up with nothing. I can't even figure out what size thread it is. The closest threads are a 10-32 fine or a 5mm x 0.8...
