    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Thank you, drivesitfar. Here's more about the FPU, my first proper vise: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5811852#post5811852 Now in good use for 2 years.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    My new old York 100 I have a dedicated thread over in Vintage Tools, and just want to add the basic info here for reference. Found this unnamed vise in the local ads and bought it for €47 shipped: Even after taking it apart and stripping it, I found no reference to the maker, although it...

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Robert from York answered first thing Monday morning and confirmed my theory: It is in fact a York, built between 1934 and 1956!

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Cleaned her up. This may be one of the cases when it may have been better to keep the vise naked than "restore" it (i.e. drop a bucket of paint over it). But stripping the paint is the easy bit, so it's quickly reversible should I reconsider. I painted it with Peugeot red I had from when I...

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Got it and disassembled it, but the question still isn't answered. No markings anywhere except the very crude "100" casting. There are grind marks where the "YORK" casting should be, but I don't think they removed it. No "made in CZ" or similar marks on the base. The vise looks very coarse...

    How do you display your tools

    Thanks, and no worries, the axe heads are safe, I just checked yesterday. The axes are just old heads I practiced with. The users are at the cabin: Yes, the vise is a FPU, I'm very happy with it, here are some before and after pics...

    Any idea what this is? The anvil horn and covered spindle makes me think Craftsman. The seller says he sees no maker's mark. I'm in Europe.

    How do you display your tools

    No room for deep toolboxes, so I keep a lot of stuff on the walls. The Green boards are from the cheap IKEA racks.

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Thanks, that was what I was thinking too. I read the York threads here, I started searching for "Wilton-styled vise" and learned about the Yorks. The seller offered reasonable shipping so I bought it and hope to get it this week. It's a bit of a gamble with the non-original handle, but we'll...

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Got more pics from the seller. No signs of a maker's mark, but the pin locations still look like a York from the little I read here.

    Is this a York 100 vise?

    Hi all, I have a lead on the attached vise here in Europe, which looks like a Czech York, the father of the Wilton bullet design. No pictures from the other side so far, but the seller states there's nothing written on it. All York 100 I find on Google have the number within an embossed...
