I have an old Peck, Stow & Wilcox Auger Bit. It has a Pat. date of: May 31. 1887, which was issued as Patent #364153 to Cornelius Whitehouse (Bridgetown, Cannock England) for Auger Bit "forging or stamping the blank into a bulb containing sufficient metal to form the head and nose of the cutter...

A couple photos more for you KMScott: Hollands “F” It has 3 1/2” jaws, opens 5” and weighs 22 lbs.

I have one I don’t see on the list. It’s a Dawn 2 1/4, which has 2 1/4” jaws, opens 2 1/2”, and weighs 7 lbs.

Hi Matt: Do you by chance also make vintage tool chest sticker reproductions? I am repairing/restoring an old Pilliod chest and I thought I would check-in with you. Many Thanks for all your good work for everyone this year.

I would like to refurbish this Wilton C1 Bullet vise (see photos below). If someone has a C1 stationary jaw for sale/trade, please let me know. Many Thanks.

Thank you for the responses. hsv: I understand your point on the likely stencil scraping. The previous owner was a furniture maker in the early 1900s who became one of the first high school woodshop teachers in San Francisco in the 1920s. His initials were not “WM” so it may have been a...

I thought I would reach out and see if anyone has experience with wood plane logos. I have this 3/8" wooden rabbet plane that looks to be made with rosewood or cocobolo. The only identification mark is the "WM" stamp (see photo) on one side (the previous owner carved his name on the other). I...

I just purchased this buffer from CL this weekend. It seems to run well enough, although I have not put it under any load. It is larger than most that I have seen (65 lbs., 19" long, 11" tall). It has been repainted. The badge is 2 1/2" x 2", and it completely rusted so I cannot identify the...

This is a great Paramo Bench Vise Swivel Base. Made in England. Great condition, works perfectly. No. “4” on base; bench holes are 8” apart c-on-c. Swivel holes are 5 1/8” c-on-c across from each other and one hole is 3 7/8” c-on-c from the two others. $60 + shipping.

Thanks dutchgray. Judging by the GJ photos, I think you are right. 2oolhound, the smaller light blue one has been repainted (any guesses?). I have one more for everyone. It may be a Morgan swivel base, but I’m not sure: 7” OD, 5 3/4” ID, it says “Pat. Sept. 3. 1912” on underside. Any thoughts...

A while back, I picked up a bunch of tools including these two vise swivel bases. I have had a lot of vises over the years, but have never been able to match these bases with any vise manufacturers. I thought the larger base would be for a Record vise, due to the color, but I cannot find...

I am looking for a Wilton C1 Bullet Combo Pipe and Bench vise (date stamp = July 1981) stationary jaw. As you can see from the photos, the bottom of the stationary jaw has a large chunk out of it. This only affects the last 1" of the slide; otherwise it has all the other parts and works...

I expected damage there too, but the top if the dynamic jaw is still in good shape.

There is a crack on the other bottom side too, which is angled back into the adjoining crack. My guess is that a previous owner used the vise as an anvil while the dynamic jaw was fully extended.

I have a Wilton C1 Bullet Combo Pipe and Bench vise (date stamp = July 1981) that weighs in at a hefty 75 lbs. It has been on my "restore list" for some time. As you can see from the pictures, the bottom of the stationary jaw has a large chunk out of it. This only affects the last 1" of the...

I recently purchased a vintage mid-size vise on Craigslist. It is a vintage Columbian 603, but it may be a version of it (A?). It has 3" jaws, no anvil, opens greater than 6" and weighs about 30 lbs. If anyone can shed light on what version it is, I would appreciate it (it does not line up...

Thanks Matt. Do you have any potential websites that may have pictures of these old labels, or do you recommend that I just do a general search on-line for old Baldor images and maybe get lucky? Also, does it need to be a high-definition photo, since many of the photos I have seen so far are...

Thanks. I have one tool rest, but since I am using the grinder for deburring (3M silicon carbide fine) and polishing, I am not using the tool rest now.

A couple months ago, I purchased an old Baldor 1/3 HP grinder off of CL (Model 662) for $20. Everything is cast iron, heavy, and runs very quietly/smoothly. I replaced the power cord (almost matching color!) and set about restoring it. I attached a few before and after pictures. It has two...
