Vise has been sold, Thanks for looking.

I ended up with this Wilton 6 inch vise and I have no interest in it. It has the hydraulic unit on the rear of it and I have no idea how, or if it even works. The vise condition is Fair. It has lots of scars, but no breaks or cracks that I am aware of. If anyone is interested, please let me...

I can actually speak from experience on this one. As you may or may not know, I was in charge of getting rid of over 100 vises in Golden Colorado for a friend of mine that had passed away. He had a TREMENDOUS amount of everything! We called a local pro estate sales company to come do the job...

Kevin, Thanks again for having an interest in the Golden pile. I'm sure Dave is looking down and is pleased to see his 30 years of collecting going to people that can appreciate it. I checked out that monster vise for markings myself, and I never found a thing. If anyone can figure it out and...

Glad to see you picked up that C. Otto from Maclin. It was a cool looking vise and even stood out among the other 100+ vises in Golden. Regards, Mark

They never belonged to me, I was just obligated to sell them for the remaining family member. I could have named my own price and walked away with any or all of them I wanted, but that wouldn't be fair to the family. The deal I signed up for was to sell them at the highest and most reasonable...

OK, this was never suppose to happen. I finally sold and loaded out the last of 100 + vises this past week in Golden. Some small, some medium, and some monsters. Through it all, I kept thinking, "why the heck was my late friend in to these pieces of iron?" It must be a virus that comes from...

As Scott mentioned, any of you guys that live close to Golden are more than welcome to come drag a vise or 30 home. All of them have issues in various degrees. Some are OK, others are almost trash. Either way you won't be able to just clean it and paint it. I hate to ship these things. I...

Jon, Sorry I thought I had sent you back an E-mail. Anyway, member "Maclin" got that vise in the batch of 64 he purchased from me last week. If you contact him, maybe you guys can work out a deal. Thanks for your interest. Mark

The Estate sale will be sometime in early October. All the heavy stuff will be sold by the family prior to the estate sale, so there will be NO vises, welding platen or anvil at the sale. Mark

As far as the "Vises of GOLDEN" goes, There are over 40 left for sale. ALL of them need either repair or replacement of some kind of part. Here are some pics. Some of the remaining vises are as follows. 8 1/2 Prentiss, Hollands 27H, 6" parker, 6" Reed, 6" Desmond Stephen, 6" American Scale...

Found this one in the pile today. It says Canedy-otto. I knew they were in to drills, but I have never seen a vise. Regards from the Colorado nightmare.

Well, I guess we all get bit by the bug in different doses. My late friend had the bug BAD! Here is some more pics of the area I am clearing out of his garage. I know this isn't the sales section of the forum, but since I don't really have a price on any of them yet, I figured you might all...

Thanks Randy for helping get the word out. I had a few PMs tonight and it was great to see the interest and appreciation by you guys, Thanks! Mark Guthrie

Thanks for the response guys. As a totally new member, I don't want to be rude by using this forum to sell my junk. On the other hand, I intend to turn it in to cash to pay bills. I don't like the E-bay thing so please send me an E-mail or private message letting me know what you are looking...

Glenn, I intend to sell 90% of the vices, after all what would a guy do with over a hundred of them? Anyway, the money will go to help pay my friends seven months of hospital bills he racked up prior to his death. Thank goodness he had insurance and we just need to cover the deductible. Regards...

All these vices are USA made. So far I have found Wilton, Rock Island, Reed, Prentiss, Columbian, Morgan, Parker, American Scale, Standard, American Red Seal, Yost, Samson, Athol and Simplex. WHAT A PILE!

Well Glenn, I've never posted a picture on a forum so I'll give it a shot. If the attachments come through, My comment to everyone is " Lord what have I done"?

Glenn, It is more of a pile than a collection. I'm in the process of moving it all from Denver to Colorado Springs. My late friend had them stacked EVERYWHERE in his house! I'll be sure and post some pictures later on. Now I just need to figure out where the heck I'm going to put them.

Hey guys. I found this site by accident while looking for info about vintage vices. I got the "American Iron" bug just recently when a good friend of mine passed away and left over 100 vices for me to deal with. These things are true Americana and you can really get a taste of what craftsmanship...
