Thought I would post where my 5198 wound up. Cleaned it up and applied BLO last year. Here it sits awaiting duty.

Just reading old posts on the Prentiss 22, I found that for some reason I can barely lift the lever and spring to adjust vice on base. Any idea why it’s so hard to lift spring? Just purchased a 22 couple months ago

Mr. Wonderful, I've glanced at the garagejournal from time to time over the last year, great forums and good advice from many! Makes sense to join up. I've a few bench vises and other older tools, keeps me in the garage/shop working on restoring vices, tools and cars..

Found in MN last year, its almost all cleaned up, undecided on what finish to put on it...

Just joined, I saw you’ve started a registry for craftsman 5198. I’m slowly working on mine dated 11/56.
