So I found this vise in my grandpas shed half buried in the dirt floor. It has sat there for years and never did anything with it until I need one for my bench at home! So I took it home and let it sit in a bucket all winter long and would keep spraying it with PB blaster and WD-40. Well it finally unfroze and I went to work cleaning it up. Now this hole time I was never able to figure out the brand nothing. Not a single marking on this vise other then 2 words "front" and 1 saying "back" indicating how to mount the vise. So I decided to go through and paint it and make it look good again.
Now just last night 5/17/20 I post this "quarantine" project to my Instagram. Come to find out a hashtag I threw on it, a guy commented its a "Dropfo made by Fulton. Drop Forge vise, very desirable, very robust for its size". So I take a look at his Instagram, he buys, collects and fixes old vises to sell! Its Amazing what you can find out over social media. I didn't even know this vise was so old and just said yeah I can use that in my garage.
