Pipe vises in general do not seem to command very high prices. Your No. 1 does have a couple things going for it though. Most Yolk clamp type pipe vises bolt directly to a bench. Yours looks like it has pipe sockets for setting it on the ground in the field. Also that extension socket to a V rest on the back side with its own pipe mounting feet is not common. Most vises on pipe legs are tri-stands. Not sure how much of a premium that adds but I'd pick it up for $25 or so....but then I'm a sucker for things I haven't seen before.

What does me having only 2 posts so far have to do with anything?
it's common for people to come on here , ask value of tools, gadgets etc , get the information they want & then be gone as fast as they came, with nothing contributed to the board
It irks some of the very dedicated members here

on August 12, 2024, I posted a FREE Trimo pipe vise in the "Craigslist Hot Deal" thread

Hello RT22 and welcome to the site.

These don't get a lot of play in the "collector" world - not nearly as much as "bench vise".
A 1931 Ridge advertisement is posted below, but I don't know if it's applicable to your particular model.

keep this link handy
and this one as well
Here's the "Ridge Tool" / RIDGID thread, but I believe it's primarily focused on their pipe wrenches.
Here is the BIG "vise" thread.

The only real way to ascertain "market value" is by perusing the "sold" listings on ebay, or one of the appraisal sites like Worthpoint.com, of which there seem to be no shortage.
If you are looking to simply sell an item, best way is to cruise through those "sold" listings on ebay and try to get a feel for what the market is paying, pick a number, and go for it.
