New Vise Day (sort of): Samson Jr. 5509
My wife called me from a garage sale to tell me that they had a small-to-medium size vise for $2. I asked her if it was a fixed base or a swivel base. She said "fixed". I don't really need another vise, but for two bucks, why not, right?
Turns out this isn't a fixed base....it's a swivel base Samson Jr. 5509, but completely missing it's swivel base.
What are the odds of finding a swivel base for this vise? I'm figuring slim-to-zero, but no harm in asking... Anybody have any idea where one can be found?
Oddly enough, this says "No.5509" on the left side, but doesn't say "Samson Jr." on the right side. Why would that be?
