The old vise at my shop....

[relic7680]

Yeah, another 'what is this vise' thread. We have two of these old things at the shop where I started a couple weeks ago and neither of them seem to have any name on them. The main reason I'm posting today is to figure out where I can get a replacement jaw pad for the one pictured...I'm sure many here will be able to ID this vise in no time flat.

It has "1750" cast in and "1052" stamped in. Thanks in advance.

That vise had a foil sticker on the side that read Wilton, Made in USA. They always come off with the use of solvents or heat.

Thanks fellas. I just looked up some replacement jaws on Ebay...and the cheapest I found were $53.00. I was thinking I could find some (or just one) for relatively little and then donate them to the cause, but not for that price. My budget is tight as the shop foreman and I know the company won't go for anything that they don't absolutely have to have.
