Really nice score for $25! Good job. The cobwebs going on is classic, must have been in storage for a while. Looks to be in good shape though.

Thanks guys I am excited and its just a vise lol now I can sell my chinese peice of garbage.

Its a nice American made 3.5" jaw Wilton, most likely from the early 1980s. Very nice score for 25.00. It should last you a lifetime as long as you don't beat the hell out of it

I'd guess that number on the bottom is the date...so 1988? Pure guess though...

However, I'm not guessing on the fact that YOU ****!

Actually the date is usually on the bottom of the alignment key stock. When you pull the dynamic jaw most of the way out, turn the vise over and its there. The 101088 is probably the part # for the base.

I do concur on the awarded suckage however.....

Great pick up & resto!

Things like that don't happen in my neck of the woods, but you definitely found one worth of major suckage!

I like it, paint the wilton letters black and it would be sweet

 

[Vettman]

I will double your investment (and pay shipping)

 

[Jack Olsen]

Killer deal -- and a beautiful vise!

I've seen the anvil surface painted over like that before, and I'm not sure what the reason is for it. Is it that you don't plan on using the anvil?

I can't tell from those pics, if you can send the vise to me my address is Scott S xxxx x xxxxxxx st. Appleton, WI. Thanks.

Just kidding it looks great!
