Anyone know this vise?

I saw this table and vise on CL. I am thinking of buying, but It is a two hour drive.

Thanks

Can't tell anything about the vise with that pic but I hope you own a chevy cruze or something similar with great MPG. No way I would drive 2 hours to look at a vise.

It looks to me like an Erie Toolworks vise. The circle on the jaw will have "ERIE" in it. The workbench looks pretty solid, too.

Looks like it originally had a swivel base and the handle appears to have been bent.

IMO it's not worth the gas to go pick it up.

Craftsman made a vise with a rounded slide as late as the 1950s but the style of that particular vise is nothing like the one you linked to.

It is hard to judge the size but it looks like my Erie 203. Mine doesn't have a swivel base either.

The table kinda-sorta looks like one of those old service station workstations that are popular these days. It might be worth a look, or at least have the seller take a few more pictures.

Make a day out of it, go look at the vise and or bench, buy it ( you know you want to). Find somewhere to eat and or a landmark to see and enjoy yourself...
