Does this Wilton have any value

[Jonny Rotten]

#655 Doesn't seem very old. Theres still parts available online. Wondering if it has any value. I can get it for $20 which is nothing but already have 3 other old vise's pre WW1 as I like the old stuff and don't need it. More for collecting. I'm thinking not

USA-Made vise always has some value. For $20 if you are going to make it your "user", sure, go for it.

I'm like you, i like older vises and stay away from the newer ones with the little anvil surface on top (not sure why, they just seem hokey and cheap to me), but for $20 I would still pick it up and add it to the empire of dirt.

Sounds like it isn't worth $20 to you. Why not leave it for someone that needs it more.

5 inch USA Wilton for 20 bucks. May not have been the top tier they offered, but heck, buy first and ask questions later!

$20 buy it for a beat on vise, maybe table outside under the lean to, bumper of truck

that looks way nice for a vice- even the jaws look minimally used- I would think its worth 20- but I don't think i would beat it-it just seems wrong since its so nice

Looks a bit like the Shop King.

$20 is a no brainer.

Mount it on a steel post/ rim for a moveable vise, inside or outside work.



Does USPS make a flat rate box big enough ?

You can always "Flip" a decent vise.

I have one that looks like that but says "Craftsman" on it.
