Hey guys,
I found some nice condition Wilton vise jaws when I was cleaning out the shed. I can get pictures if anyone is interested.

The teeth are nice and sharp, almost unused, but there is some scarring here and there. They all have the center aligning pin. All edges are nice and sharp looking, great for a resto.

Dimensions:
L-5"
THK- 5/8"
H- 1.250"

Seems as if they go for about 30+ a pair on ebay. These are very nice, no rust but a little patina on them. They go to the newer-ish Bullet vises, AFAIK.

Let me know if you're interested. Thought Id post them here just before posting an ad, hopefully this would get more exposure and not sunk to the bottom in the class. section.
