A friend from work brought me in a couple of nice things today. I traded him a few boxes of handloads for them. The little kennedy machinists box has some rust but everything looks decent. The front cover is missing and the felt certainly has seen better days. I just got through vacuuming it out and it looks like it shouldn't take too much. My one bid concern is that I can't see a way to remove the drawers - I did some searching on the forum here and every reference to these boxes seems to have the "j-clip" style of retainer. My pics might not be clear enough, but there is nothing visible holding the drawers on. Ater further inspection it almost looks as if the "j-clip" is on the inside? Does anyone have any more insight? On to the vise. I can find no makers mark nor am I able to see any COO markings. I did see another like it in the vise sticky and that vise was said to be an imported unit. It is very clean, although I will take it apart and more than likely blast it and repaint. It also is missing the pipe jaw inserts down at the bottom. I think that I can have them made up to fit. Everything seems to swivel upon a quick inspection so it will fit on my bench nicely.
