Thanks Autopts! I thought it was an old one when I bought it. This one appears to be in great condition, so I didn't want to see someone else buy it while I was off posting on forums checking the date...
Thanks for the tip on the collar screws - I will replace all 3. Do you know where I can get...
Thanks. I have tried to research as much as possible but I havent found anything listed about this date code. I was also thinking one of the very early vises before they unified the date codes?
Hopefully a resident expert here will chime in...
Hi, I just bought a Wilton vise off ebay and the date code is 3-945.
This looks to be pre-Chicago markings and cast with:
WILTON VISE No.4
Pat Pen USA
