Holy ****- look at this vise

Thoughts?

Notice that in the 2nd picture, he doesn't have the front jaw retracted all the way either.. wow.

What is it worth?

Cool . . . totally cool . . . AND . . old, that's for sure.

Need pic of other side of vise to show brand / model.

It's worth what somebody is willing to pay for it !!

What are you ready to pay for it??

That's pure genius.

I bought one exactly like that in the spring....memory is fuzzy, but I think I paid $50-$60 for it. It's actually pretty lightweight, don't think it would take any serious hammering on the anvil.

Seems kind of clumsy and bulky to me.

You see them at blacksmithing events from time to time.
I pass them up.

I found one pretty similar to that last year on CL. Mine is a little rougher around the edges, but it came with a nice stand. I felt like I got a good deal at $25 for the vise and stand.

It's not a high quality vise, but it can take some hits. I wouldn't go slamming an object locked down to it with a sledge, but still suitable for medium duty work.
