I don't care if it's worth anything. It's trashed and I got it super cheap. Looks kinda cool too. I'm curious to see how far I can get "restoring" it. Anyways, there's no obvious marks on it. Screw's semi frozen. Any idea on a rough date and maker?
I am beyond impressed with both your accuracy and speed in identifying this thing. Scrubbing revealed goodell Pratt Co greenfield mass USA. Thanks alot.
Just a few mid point pics. I didn't think the rust would come of, but it did. Breaking everything loose was fun. The thread screw doesn't move the floating jaw. I'm guessing the screw on it is a set screw? If so, the collar on the thread screw is worn enough that I can't find the sweet spot to set the set screw. I know I'm putting more effort into this then it's worth, but I've never messed with rusted vises before. Wife thinks I'm nuts.
