Old Wilton vise

[BigLRay]

Got this little guy as a gift. Can't determine what year/era it was made. Can anyone help???
Side says patent pending.

No idea on the age, but its a beautiful vise....even better that it was a gift!

Almost looks like my 1956 Wilton Cadet. Probably a newer version.



You can find the date of manufacture underneath the moveable jaw, stamped on the drift key.
