After gifting this vice to a friend I wanted to circle back and show how he cleaned it up:

Thanks to everybody for giving me your input - Certainly appreciate you taking the time to confirm my intuition. A friend of mine who has a workshop full of vintage tools, is swinging by today to pick it up, he’ll enjoy it regardless of its value or lack there of

I’ve lugged this heavy vise around wondering if it’s worth anything long enough and before I put it out on the curb I figured I’d ask those with more knowledge on the subject than I if this thing has any value?

I’ll probably invest some time restoring it - I’m no good at leaving things as is.

Just got my first Kennedy and it was free! Anyone know what vintage it is?

Hi Pete! Thanks for sharing your encouraging experience with this tool! I downloaded the manual from the Hall-toledo site but it isn't overly detailed.. I plan to dress a stone tonight and get some practice grinding under my belt. I really hit a honey hole when I found the person selling this...
