Help identify this vise?

[Rabid Badger]

I've spent about an hour on Google image search looking for a match with no luck.

The star/flower logo on the side is pretty distinctive. Any ideas?

My best guess would be Morgan.

Are you considering buying it?

A better pic would help a lot.

 

[Rabid Badger]

It's available for $50.

Believe it or not that photo has been cleaned up and enhanced to look that good.

That’s got what, 4 inch wide jaws?
Is it near you so you could check it out?
If it’s in OK shape, I would pay $50

 

[Rabid Badger]

The guy said the jaws were 8". I don't think I believe that, but I have my fingers crossed for 5-6".

Here is a pic I found of a Morgan that is very close in shape.

A lot of guys think the size of the jaws is how far they will open.

Here is a Morgan 60 with 6 inch jaws

Yeah, when he said 10-12 inches I asked him for the correct measurement. It's that giant lead screw head that makes me think it might be a bigger one. It looks massive compared to the one in the picture you found.

American Scale RED SEAL vise. maybe a 4 inch wide jaw, but it does look pretty big compared to the compressor in the background so might be a BIG UN? here's a picture of a 6 inch version.

if it's not cracked, broken or missing parts, and pieces and no welds then $50 should be a no brainer.

Drives:
I think your guess is better than mine. Good call!
For $50 I’d already be in my car (with my face covering mask on of course) and cash in my pocket.

I worked on the image as well and can’t see a trace of the characteristic red seal emblem Drives was referring to. Maybe some years had it on the other side? I don’t know.
The big beefy nose certainly looks similar.

The base of the main casting looks thinner on the A.S. Vise of Drives.

What ever happens, please make sure to follow up on this thread

I knew you guys would figure it out. It's a Red Seal 64. Unfortunately the guy sold it tonight. I wasn't able to get out to pick it up until tomorrow morning.

The hunt continues...

Sorry you missed it.

Here is a 64 that Kevin posted for the spreadsheet.

One unanswered mystery is why the seller told you it was an 8 inch vise.

But the guy who beat you to it got a VERY good deal.
