saved from a scrap pile

[Arps]

A Hollands vise made in my hometown of Erie PA. Its going to have a nice home in my Indiana barn. I really dont know much about it, other than its heavy. I took it apart and cleaned it a bit, then greased it up. It seems to work great. I was going to do the complete tear down and respray, but I like the rust. You can also see some of (what I assume is original) blue paint and yellow lettering.

A workable vise saved from the scrap pile? Wow, well done and may it clamp and grip lots of pieces to your projects and repair items!!

I would half vote for a respray just so it stands out and you can brag about getting it for free

I would say you ****, but I don't think that is the best description of your situation.

You rock, you da man, you one lucky SOB, or maybe, you are Head of the Vise Squad

Well done and congrats!

Nice find. Hollands are among the best.

Straighten the handle and put it to work.

What do you mean by a scrap pile? Congrats on the find though.

It was in a pile of stuff that was headed to the scrap yard.
