Good points, Mark. I look forward to tinkering around with my "new" Wilton. I will definitely keep an eye out for old vises when i go to a flea market next time. Have a good one!
First post on the GJ. Just got this Wilton on eBay; I have been looking at them for a month or so. ...finally gave in. Mine has "Wilton Tool Corp Chicago" on one side, and "Wilton Vise No 3 Patent Pending Made in USA" on the other side. There is no date stamp, and no other raised letters...
