I see you won eBay parts item. Congratulations and post photos when you finish your vise.

I got on Menards website to buy one can of Rust Oleum Sage Green, and I was excited they have it and only $5.39 so when I proceeded to checkout as a Guest & after filling all my personal info and got to final checkout, to my shock Menards added $2.80 processing fees plus $9.79 shipping fees, so...

1830 is about right for that type of vise. Here's one Model 22 on eBay similar to yours Patent 1867 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Patent-1867-Charles-Parker-No-22-Bench-Vise-Anvil-Horn-Blacksmith-/322098083325?hash=item4afe8ab5fd:g:HO8AAOSwbwlXAsTU

You're welcome 8Track Contact the seller and make him an offer, it doesn't hurt to try, I did that many times with eBay sellers and I must admit about 70% of them accepted my offers and ended the bidding.

exmaxima1 I like the color of your vise, you did a great job. I think Sage Green is more relaxing color compare it to the busy harsh Hammered Verde Green. By the way I noticed you don't have the acorn locking nuts on yours, so what's the idea?

Thank you Bill I think I will paint it the Sage Green, and thank you for the link to it. It says my local Home Depot might have it in stock, it's only a couple of miles away, I will call Home Depot when they open and see if they have it. Thanks again Bill

I couldn't find any Menards in LA.

It's absurd, Amazon and Lowes do not sell individual cans, they sell it only as a 6 pack. Monopoly at it's best. I will keep looking am sure I will find it sold as individual cans in some small store around LA.

Thank you dhammond for the info.

I just bought this vise on eBay it's coming from Bullhead City, Arizona It should arrive to Los Angeles before the weekend. I think I'm going to paint it sage green color similar to the color Wilton company used on it's early vises. Any clue to what brand of paint and name of the color? I...

Here's what you're looking for, just being posted on eBay a few hours ago The complete spindle acme screw and the front part includes the dust cap for a 4" Wilton Bullet Vise It's a $24.00 bidding start, if you get it you're all set. Good luck Here's the eBay listing link, and a photo of the...

I have the same Wilton 645 5" vise that I will be start restoring sometime next week using Evapo-Rust rust removal. mine came without pipe jaws also, but luckily I have a Wilton 8-643 3 1/2 inch that it's pipe jaws fits the Wilton 645 perfectly. I have seen several (not restored) Wilton 645...

Thank you Mark In Indiana for the useful info.

Here are photos of the vise

To Mark in Indiana -- There are no marks at all. and to exmaxima1 When you buy a vise in this condition, and you make a big fuss out of a missing jaw which to begin with are replaceable. then I would say good luck of finding one for yourself.
