Thanks for your feedback, Owner is asking 125. Didn't know if that is in ballpark or not. Still don't think he realiszes it is a swivel unit. Thanks again.

Have an opportunity to pick up a RI 853. Appears to be decent shape. Can anyone give me an approx value. I don't think the current owner realizes it is a swivel jaw. Thanks

Update. The anvil brought $150. Not my money though. Was going to offer them $50 if they still had it. Thank you all for your replies and info on this.

So you think perhaps it may be worth 100?

Can anyone give me an idea of it's approximate value? I see someone has one for sale in Oregon refurbished for 300 on CL (I have the original...

Thank you. Do you have an email where I can ask you some questions, or is that frowned upon? Or I could give you my phone #?

Do you know of anyone who has one of these early 20's? I need to make a pivot pin and need some dimensions Thanks

I have 3 or 4 vises ready for paint. Bought some Rust-oleum hammered paint to try. Just haven't gotten there yet. Nice Bull Dogs

So. it's all dismantled. "locking pin" that I drove out was made of wood? Must have been a quick substitute. Any idea what the dimensions should be. Will have my friend turn one down on a lathe. Maybe even use brass. Thanks again.
