Thanks again all- I even found the exact Waterloo tool chest (minus the custom (Snap-On label).

All, Very, very helpful. I really appreciate the help. Again, it was advertised as a Kennedy. I told the seller it was not a Kennedy based on the feedback I got from Kennedy customer service (they were awesome by the way). He said he had initially listed it as a Snap-On but someone told...

Looking to buy this from a local CL advertisement. It was advertised as a Kennedy but it looked “off” so I emailed Kennedy customer support the photos and they stated that it was not one of theirs based on the photos. It doesn’t look like any Snap-On chests (and they all seem to be red...

Jim, Copy and thanks. I have decided to "hold what I have" so to speak with regards to the vise. It was a good looking vise though. Thanks for the feedback regarding mounting though. -Dan

Dumper, Thanks- All things that were going through my mind as I decided I didn't "need" a second large vise (that and the fact I didn't want to have to take is as a "carry-on" on the flit back). That being said, and since I already kind of spent that money in my mind, I am eyeballing a nice 11...

JJ/ Mark, Appreciate your feedback. Should I put it on the forum under “Deals” for any local folks to take advantage of it? -Dan

Tom, Thanks!- I’ll see if there is any wiggle room on the price. I’d still have to ship it back to San Diego...

Newbie question again- Found a vintage 4” Parker vise in an antique store in RI. Asking price is $85- Looks to be in very good conditions Is $85 a fair price? Please see photos. Thanks in advance.

Thanks- I actually have a large (to me) vise I picked up and restored thanks to the help of the members on this forum- It is a Columbian 504 1/2. Now that I have "the bug" I was trying to find a smaller vise to put on a different workbench at home. In a perfect world I'd like to get my hands...

Live in San Diego and am in Newport, RI right now. Trying to take advantage of what I assume to be more antique tools out here. That logic has proven true for some hand planes and furniture in the past.

gman007, Copy and understand. I was definitely looking for something I can use daily. Thanks for the info. -Dan

Davethorik, Thanks- The two unmarked ones were the big and little one in the same picture (I should have been more specific). Thanks for the advice- Learning a lot on this site.

One more interesting one-
