So I'm checking out craigslist and find an add that says:
table vice grip - $15
solid metal vice grip, holes to screw into the table, is a bit rusted but a solid as any steel youll find.
With only the following picture:
To me it looks like possibly one of the smaller non-bullet Wilton's or something similar. I figure for $15 I may as we'll check it out. So after contacting the seller, and finding out we wouldn't be able to meet for a couple of days, I just tell him I'll take it for the $15 when he can meet.
When we do, he pulls it out of his back seat and I see:
When I talked to him (texted actually) I didn't ask for any markings or anything, as I didn't want new information to raise the price. I happen to like vintage Craftsman so I really couldn't be much happier about it. It appears to have no damage, just a little rust, and a restore in its future.
By the way, I wouldn't have found it at all if I hadn't intentionally misspelled vise, because I know some people do.

That is a horrible vise grip, way to heavy and bulky. 
Congrats
