This is my 3” Wilton bullet vise. Really good vise in excellent mechanical condition. I cleaned, primed and painted it five or so years ago and it’s showing some paint scars from use.
All parts are original - screw is straight and has no discernible wear, a few dings on the top of the moving slide but everything moves smoothly with little backlash (see video). I think the date on the key is 12 30 51, which would make it a 1946 vise if the stamped date is the warranty expiration date. Smooth jaws with little wear on the faces. They don’t grip as tight as serrated jaws but they also don’t leave marks
Replacing this one as I have a 4-1/2” bullet vise (sadly in not as nice condition!) to replace it. Happy to ship flat rate anywhere in the US for $23
Have some more pics to share but you’ll have to wait three days to see them
