I found a Fulton Vice #10 at a garage sale for $20. It is in excellent condition. Runs smooth, no cracks , a few drill divots but minor. original paint I think. It’s really bigger than I need but just wondering about it’s value.

I like the old school lettering. I can't see if the jaws line-up. I'm guessing 20 bucks.

That’s a great deal for just $20. I have a Fulton #20 in worse condition that I paid a lot more for.
The old blue paint has admirable patina but is not original. That vise is about 100 years old. One big tip off is that vise manufacturers AFAIK never painted the nose where the handle passes through.

I'm still in the twenty to forty bucks camp.
The jaw alignment looks like a sad drunkards DUI walk.
I think it's a great project vice. I also think that's a ****- ton of work.

Looks good from here. I have one vise I consider more or less a precision tool other than a mill vise. The others are meant for what you do with vises, rough stuff.
