vise ID

[river1]

i showed these pics over in the vises of GJ thread but looking for some ID info

anyone have any info on manufacturer and COO on this vise

seller had painted it with house paint it hid some slight damage that wouldn't have mattered to me in the pics i highlighted the logo and number that are on it. i have since stripped the paint and repainted it. it is still drying and i'll show it when i get it back together.

thanks jim

Dunno. I saw one that was a 4"er the other day, exact same vise except it had a "4" on the side, and I was wondering the same thing. There was no country of origin on it, either.

after wire brushing and sand blasting

still needs final assembly with new bolts and then a stand

and this post makes me a senior member for the secret santa deal

What kind of paint you use on that? I got an old Morgan I have been thinking about restoring but I use it all the time. I am afraid paint would not hold up on it.

I used this KBS stuff. Seems really tough and strong. It is moisture cured.

i used rustoleumspray can hammered black. it may or may not hold up to use but it's a tool so it will be beat on.
