Got these from the same guy for $1 each. A Indian Head break fluid can, and a stool, and work bench chair.

I was thinking that it waa possibly a paint speyer pump too. The guy I got it from thought it was a pump for bikes and balls. Irs cool for sure and still runs too. Im super stoked about the vise too, that sucker is a big boy. Needs some cleaning up but pretty much all there with the swivel base...

Just scored this old Columbian vise model 606, with swivel base for $50, and this vintage Sears and Roebuck Craftsman air compressor, that works for $20. Ive never seen this air compressor before, anyone know anything about them ??? Also on the vise, where can i find the manufacturing date ???
