Anyone recognize this vise?

[doodah man]

I can't make out the name in this picture. Could be Fulton. Anyone recognize it?

That is a Athol vise in your post. Looks to have been used well and not abused to extremes. Athol vises are heavy duty and are worth picking up if the seller doesn't want the sun moon and the skies for it.

It says . . . . GO SNAG IT !!!

If price is right, that would clean up nice.

Re: Anyone recognize this vise? UPDATE

Just heard back from the seller. What do you guys think about this:

The front (moving) jaw is 3-3/4” wide, the rear (non-moving) jaw is 5-1/4" wide.The lettering on the side reads “FULTON, LOWVILLE, NY and (image of five-pointed star) 2-1/2”

It's kind of weird to have 2 different width jaws, right? You think this is some kind of Frankenstein job?

 

[JJWALLY]

Two different size jaws. that is odd. some times there are casting numbers on the static and dynamic parts of the vise, see if the numbers match.

There is a chance that the Dynamic jaw is not the original. Could the slider be the same size. My 624 (4") has a 2" slider width, as is my 614-1/2 (4-1/2") and 717 (5").

The dynamic jaw shrunk...

Must be cheap steel...

I researched those star vises before. Can't remember all the details, but cool I do remember.

I zoomed in and the jaws do look different. But what the heck is that thing next on the dynamic jaw...that rectangle?
