Hey guys, You, your experience, and your eyes have helped me out before, so... will you lend me your thoughts again? There is a CL Prentiss no 93 (listed as a 98, and it seems to clearly be a 93) for $110. It's about 2 hours from me. If things don't sell in a week or two people often come...

Hey guys, I have a line on a vise that seems only labeled with Craftsman 5154... He said it has 5" jaws. Is it a Rock Island? I got no hits with a quick google search... He wants $200 for it... it looks to be in very good condition. What say you? Thanks, Steve

Hey guys, I need some guidance here... I make and sell Mjolnir. I use electro etching, and in the past I have successfully used 2 batteries left over from my old bass boat. I etch 4 1/8" pieces of SS at a time, and I etch pretty deep, like 1/64 to 1/32". I used both batteries, both...

I'm not sure where to post this link. I am NOT the seller, nor do I know her. She lives about 35 minutes north of me, and I do not benefit in any way from this listing. Just a heads up for you guys... It's too rich for my blood, even if she comes down a bit. I did tell her to get better...

I know the price is high, and... this is a VERY old (and seemingly rare) vise. One pic shows the jaws at around 5.25", no weight listed, and the handle has a nice bend. It is listed at $175 however open to offers. I would most likely resell it after restoration... and I don't know if I'll...

Sold Prentiss Bull Dog No. 55 Vise vice 93 lbs This is a very nice, heavy duty Prentiss No. 55 Bull Dog vise. It has seen use, and it has not been abused. The only real signs of use are on the part where the anvil would be, if this style of vise had an anvil. The handle is pretty straight...

This is a really nice Parker 107. It has 6" jaws, and weighs about 132 lbs! It opens to about 10.5", and will handle just about anything you can throw at it! It does show wear and use. In particular you will see wear behind the jaws, where the anvil might be if this style of vise had an...

Sold Iron City Post vise I have this nice old Iron City post or leg vise. It's in pretty good condition. I had to remove several layers of old paint, and a decent amount of surface rust. I finished it with several coats of BLO. It stands about 38.5" high. Jaws are 4". It weighs about 36...

It needs some cleaning, and this is a pretty nice Parker 107. I haven't weighed it yet... the seller said around 130 lbs.

Sold Columbian 504 1/2 vise This is a beautiful Columbian No. 504 1/2 vise. The jaws are 4.5" wide, and it opens easily to 8". It weighs 45 lbs. The old paint has been stripped, all of the parts cleaned, fresh grease applied and everything put back together. All of the parts have several...

Sold 4" Wilton Bullet vise 101157 4" Wilton Bullet vise in very good condition. The bottom clearly shows that it was never used on a swivel base. It's about 17" long, just over 7" high at the jaws, and the base is about 7" across. It weighs 51 lbs on my scale. It opens and closes smoothly...

Sold Athol 614 vise This is my first restoration. As you can see it's an Athole 614. 48lbs About 17" long 4" jaws Looks like it had very light use at best, as there are relatively few saw/grinder/hammer marks on/around the jaws for a vise of this vintage. There are some marks of course...

These are all sold! I got these 3 Wilton corner vises for sale. They just came out of a local school. They are generally in (surprisingly) very good condition. The original paint is 98% intact. The jaws do have some bumps and bruises, and they are minimal. They all work as they should...

You know... I'm often finding myself jealous of the flea market finds other people seem to show off. Well jealous no more! Just over a week ago I found this 3/4 HP 257.191500 7" x 3/4" x 1/2" block grinder at a local flea market. It was pretty dirty... The guy wanted $20 for it... I was...
