i like the extra long slide on that AS #500. redeeming feature for an exposed screw vise.

I have a 3” Lake Side V6/V7 like that on the welding bench

YOST 431/2 N
Specifically designed with longer bar and spindle
There must have been a design change along the way. The ad mentions "Cast in pipe jaws" but holes for removeable pipe jaw pins can be seen in the photos.

Here's an exposed screw vise that caught my eye. It's marked Walworth USA Boston, which was a manufacturer I hadn't heard of before, but there are several examples shown on GJ. It has interesting styling and a pretty massive screw! Not mine, but for sale on-line semi-locally.

Looks like that had a hard life, what are they asking?

Definitely a hard life, as confessed to by the seller, asking price of $60 Cdn which would only be $42.50 USD, but perhaps a bit far away.

That would be hard for me to leave behind for $42.50 USD

Classic !!

That slide looks like it was "nicked" with a cutting torch...

A 'Gipsy' has been on my BOLO list for a long time.
They're not that hard to find but it took time to find one that wouldn't cost me various limbs.

I like that too, just watched a U-toob clip on one, it's different, don't know why they regarded it as a Steamfitters Vice thou, but now I know what a steamfitter is -

Usually a steam fitters vise has a couple of big notches in the back for bending pipe. maybe that was protected by patent at the time these were made?

Here is a Japan marked hand held vise. It was too cute to leave behind at the estate sale.

I swear I have his brother at home. Mine has tape to give it soft jaws.

Unfortunately, I think it's purchase predates having a website to post it on.

Just finished the paint on this Ben Hur barn sale find.

Just picked up these two cuties today. Both made in USA for under $50 total. They’ll be more than adequate for my home shop needs, just need that third hand sometimes. Exactly what I was looking for.
