Need info on this vise

[Deester]

Can anyone give me any opinions and/or information on this vise. It looks very clean with no cracks, bent parts, or welds at all. I am just wondering if the asking price of $80.00 is reasonable. Sorry for the lack of pictures.

Dees,

$80 sounds a bit high to me. Post a picture if you can, but if it is an open screw model, something like $20 would be a more reasonable price. For $80, you can yourself a really nice bench vise. What are you looking to use it for?

Right now I have a smaller ( 3" craftsman ) but am looking for a larger vise for mostly holding larger items. Nothing in particular and no pressing anything. Mainly I guess I just want a large vise just in case I do need it.

This type of vise sells for 15 bucks at every flea market that I go to. 80 dollars is highway robbery.

Thanks for the info. I am running away now.

$20 unrestored and $40 tops fully restored and in awesome shaped. Lately once someone puts " vintage " in title price double or triples.

For example, here is what you get in my area for $80. A Columbian which is a much more substantial vise:
