    Yeah it’s in real nice condition. I figured You’d know who made it. Quite amazing the quality of this vise. It’s got quite a bit of heft for a 2 1/2”. The catalogue shows a 1 1/2” model.

    This little vise is very well built. Yes, CP style tension spring in the handle. There are so many neat little things about this Vise I may have to make a short video. There is very little wear on this tool. Probably going to soak it to get the jaws screws and handle screw out. The...

    Spotted this swivel base/ rear swivel jaw Rock Island today. Jaws are either 7 or 8”. I could not get any closer to inspect. The spreadsheet shows a model 56 as a 7”. This beauty is in the museum area at Mount Rushmore.

    A Prentiss 92 base would probably work. My Monarch 222 had a base with 94 cast in the bottom.

    Thanks. Your 183 is in great shape. The 185 has seen better days. It has a substantial repair on the dynamic jaw. The quality of the weld seems good, but the alignment is off a bit. Also, one of the 3 mounting tabs on the base is missing. The price was right at the time and it is just...

    Nice one. That base may have a 96. My 185 has a 97. Here’s a few pix. “ Dorman Long & Co Lo Umbro “ marked on the slide.

    The early versions of the 18X were through the bench. The later typical swivel base models used 3 hole types (used in the Prentiss models ex. Prentiss 95). Correct, the 183 and 185 always used the wrought steel sideways channel (it actually has the manufactuers name on it. (I'll get it later)

    Smitty nice set of 182 1/2’s. I picked one up last year and think it’s an amazing tool. 120lbs in a 5 inch combo with an enormous double swivel lock base. Not sure if either of your bases are labeled 95 or not? I think the quality of the 18x series Prentiss vises is top notch. Thanks for...
