I have a 5” Wilton 101043 bullet vise, it’s missing the front horseshoe shaped collar and has weird custom jaws on it. Where can I buy parts? I found 5” jaws on Zoro but I’m not sure they’re the right ones? There’s a guy on eBay that has the stuff too. Thanks for any suggestions

I’m looking for a Reed 3c or 4c within a few hours of Chicago or might pay to ship. PM me with what you have please, thanks.

Nothing looks broken on the base, these lugs come to a point too, not rounded like the others I’ve seen. Front of screw looks like a flattened meatball, like others I’ve seen. How do you post pics? I don’t have photobucket or anything.

I just bought a Reed 1c, It doesn’t look like the jaws are separate pieces, and there are only 3 points on the swivel base to mount it to the bench, anyone know if this is a really early version or ?

The later ones like yours look to have a lot more beef in the dynamic jaw and anvil area.

He had another one he bought from the same place that was dated 47. I'm sure this one was probably that old. Yes, I could have bought it for $160, I passed, my final offer was a little less.

The vise was about 17" long overall when closed, verified 5" wide jaws, one of the jaw screws was broken, missing the end cap, there was no date on the dynamic jaw when I pulled it out. It didn't seem to weigh much, 45#? I could pick it up easily with one hand. It said No. 4 on the bottom...

i believe it is a 500s. The body is long like the pic posted. As I stated before, it says Chicago on it, not Schiller Park, so doesn't that date it to around the 50's? I have been lurking for a while and have done a ton of searches on here and ebay for that matter. The values seem to be all...

It says Chicago, not Schiller Park on it, and there are no cracks or welds. I do not have the specific model #, just the 5" jaw width, it does not look like a C2, just the standard looking long bullet vise.

What would be a fair price on an older Wilton 5" swivel vise? It doesn't have pipe jaws, and is in unrestored shape. I'm not sure why I need another vise since I already have one, but I've always wanted a Wilton. Thanks
