New old stock RECORD No4 Vise

[toronto0922]

Hello guys,

This is my first post, just wanted to share pictures of my new vise that I got yesterday to see what you guys think....

I got it from an old timer that bought it new more than 25 years ago and left it in the box in his garage. All original and untouched.

I hate to break it to you but it cant be 25 years old or more, the box is too new plus this
Sheffield's area code changed to the current 0114 code on 16 April 1995

So it can't be older than 19 years. Still a superb vise though and much better than the Chinese Irwin Record ones (some of the bigger ones are still UK but they are really not cheap.) so its a great find to get one in that condition.

Very nice!

I bought a Record No.4 new in the '70s and still have it. It's been a great vice. I saw a No.4 at the Barrie Automotive Flea market last month that looked like it had never been used. It wasn't nearly as clean as yours but the decal was like new. I would have picked it up for the $70 that he was asking but I already have too many of them.

You're going to like using that vice. I'd put the box away in a safe place. It will be fun to look at it years from now.

^^^^^ agreed, the box itself is unique. The whole thing should be in a vace museum.

What a find!!!
