Thank you as always! :beer: Mine must be fake, there is no tail crack! :lol_hitti It has replaceable jaws so it is ca 1911-1920.

Just recently, there was a real clean Reed 206 for sale online in Cleveland for $200, two guys got in a bidding war over it. Then **** ad was gone, seller stopped responding to the bidders. About a week later, same seller relists it for $700. :spit: it's been gone so I'm guessing someone got it...

They have Malco tools on the shelf at Home Depot, at least in my area.

Thanks for the kind words shift, vise, gforce, smitty, and andy. Still grinning from ear to ear! I am lucky to live in OH where it seems there a lot of vises around. However, cheap/popular vises (Wilton, Reed) go super quick because there are a lot of collectors and flippers in the area. So...

Fierljeppen- what a unique looking model!! Open slide and wrought bars is reminiscent of Lewis Tool Co., or perhaps the Barrett patent Meadville combos would be a better comparison. Is this a Barrett patent vise? Thanks for the kind words about the Emmert btw. It is so nice I couldn't pass it...

Eh, new member only 1 post and it's a bash post? Should raise some eyebrows. I had a proto 3/8 rat i warrantied that i mentioned earlier. I emailed sbd, they said send it in. 2 weeks later had a brand new one in the mail.:dunno:

The $25 mystery vise on marketplace turned out to be a Monarch no. 218 in very nice shape. 4.5" jaws, opens 5", weight 48 lbs. Been looking for a nice example for a while, so I am beyond thrilled with this!!

Re: Chicago Hand Tools vise in upcoming estate sale Yeah i see the logo, still a low quality asian vise.

Re: Chicago Hand Tools vise in upcoming estate sale Because its a screen shot. That is a low quality asian import.

Off topic, It's because they are screenshots. Regular pics show up fine, but you gotta click on screenshots for some reason.

no response about buying a new one, but plenty of excuses about why you don't have time to search for a deal on used...let me guess, you don't NEED a c3 you just want one...

Here is the Emmert Tiger I just picked up. It is a no. 46 with 5-1/2" jaws, opens 9", weighs 105 lbs. This is a thru bench swivel model, complete with all the pieces in very nice shape. No clue on age, any ideas?

Fierljeppen- that thing is awesome!! And it was made in Ohio too! How cool. Did they make other sizes?

Honestly any 2" or 2.5" USA vise that is built like a large vise will cost you unless you randomly find a smoking deal. Vises are expensive at either end of the size spectrum, most likely due to lower numbers being made at the size extremes. Where as you see 4" or 4.5" sizes posted here daily...

It looks like that vise is a #56, the #25 is a different style of vise (autovise). I would think value is around $500 or more. I would try selling it on fb marketplace if it were mine.

Love that 408, vise! That thing is clean!!

Hi danny, hoping you would see this. It was advertised as a larger size where i found it, so i thought it was the same as my 3.5" version. Couldn't really judge the size in the pix. What a pleasant surprise to find it was actually smaller. What really has me at a loss, this vise is assembled...

Came across a neat little vise today. Massey Vise Co. "Lightning Grip" no. 10 2.5" jaws, opens 3", weighs 21 lbs. These vises use a cam and rack system to tighten vs a conventional screw, which gives them a handy quick release feature. It fuctions very smoothly. Sadly, it is missing the...

Literally nobody has said SK stands for "Slip Kill" or "Split Knuckles" except, you, repeating it over and over on this board. Lol.

I only have one, a black oxide Plomb that has no stamps on the reverse. It is NOS with some shelf wear. Shown with a Proto Professional I gave my dad as a gift. It is also black oxide, no reverse stamp. I thought I had better pics, my apologies.
