Shift, it’s really an interesting design and the price is right. I’d like to see a catalog page for one to find out what their primary use was. I would guess it’s some sort of new fangled quick release that never caught on. The one FMC posted looks like a machinist model and the one I posted...

That’s not a mod, it was done at the factory. Here’s a pic of another one. Hopefully it’s still for sale, it’s a rare vise.

I just reorganized the nursery. These are all Wilton baby bullet vises and wilton Power Arms. Happy 4th of July weekend to all.

Thanks Jeppen, I appreciate it. I was starting to feel left out there for a second.

That’s a great scan boatman, thanks for posting that. I’ve got an earlier Chicago model that works but I’d like to change the oil on it. I never would have used Caster Oil so it’s a big help. I notice mine doesn’t have the plug on the bottom.

Chefrex: thanks, I work really hard to find quality vises. VA: thanks, those guys ended up with quite a few of my silver dollars back in the day.

i Just got this beautiful patent pending Wilton baby bullet. The vise has the raised anvil, original paint and a partial sticker in the back. These weren’t date stamped but I know they were produced in the early 40’s. I lightly cleaned it and then just stared at it for a while.

Kevin: yeah, that would have been a good one to hang on to. People are going crazy for the small vises these days. VA: That patent pending baby bullet is a beauty.

I’m happy for the seller on the other hand I feel bad for the buyer on the other hand if your going to spend 1k with fees on a vise you should know what you’re doing. Just sayin
