    Does this Wilton Shop King count? Most of the original paint remains. It even had the usually missing cut-off chisel and pipe jaws. Too bad it has a missing foot. I couldn’t get the other pictures to upload. 3 in jaws. Very little use.

    I’ve got one of those in much worse shape. It as holes drilled everywhere. Mine doesn’t have the bench fixture, it probably came off a bench drill. G-P’s catalog shows them as a replacement for the table that usually came with the drills.

    Pelletman, you actually need two pieces. The pin and the retaining plate.

    ChefRex, you shouldn’t have to "live with some freeplay". If you loosen the set screw that holds the collar in position and then tap the collar CW you should be able to get the freeplay where you want it. Look up patent no. 2127008. It gives you a good idea of what things look like. Mike

    I was under the impression that the Wilton SJ were only available as a 450. Am I wrong on that? The one I had was a 450...wish I would have been able to get $800 for it.

    Fred, the easiest way is to remove the dynamic jaw, remove the swivel base, get a punch or bolt, or any other piece of rod, put it through the swivel bolt hole in the bottom of static jaw tower, locate the swivel jaw pin hole and drive it out. Make sure you do this on something real solid...like...

    A guy brought one of those to me at the Flywheelers show last year to see if I knew what it was for. Unfortunately I didn’t. Yours is the second I've seen…and I still don’t know.

    Lugz, The only other one I’ve actually seen belonged to a friend of mine who wore it on a rawhide thong around his neck. I tried to buy it a couple times but he wouldn’t sell it. This one I got at an online auction with 5 or 6 other miniatures in a lot. I was the only bidder. It is in close to...

    Here’s another of my unusual hand vises. A bit of a change from the norm. The only marking is on one side that says: PAT. APL'D FOR. I got this a few years back from a good friend. I don’t remember how I happened to find the patent but it turns out that a G W Miller obtained patent no...

    I’m a little late on this. It’s an interesting thread. I wasn’t aware that Keystone made such a variety of wrenches. Here is my very small contribution. I think the open handle one is the earliest of the bunch. It has no part number, just the size.

    Looks great Shift! I’m liking that color. I’ve used the Hammered Grey and it’s ok, but I think this is better.

    Re: Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? It’s possible that the guy in the foundry setting the "core" for the swivel lock in the base didn’t put it in the right location. Or maybe it was a Monday morning and he had had a particularly rough weekend :beer. It’s also possible that there was no...

    All: My apologies for mislabeling how many were in the stack. I keep forgetting about the Fourth one on the top. It is made out of some kind of clear material that doesn’t photograph well. That, along with the fact that its so small I have to move it with tweezers, means you won’t see...
