Vise info?

[bubinga]

Anyone know anything about this vice?
He's wanting $100.00 for it shipped.

Littlestown Vise, light duty. Exposed main screw. Hard to judge size without a model number. Any numbers embossed in the casting on the other side?

 

[General Geoff]

Also, does the vise come with the anvil?

It comes like it's shown I would say. He said it's a
"Vintage small anvil, 18 lbs"
Oh, is that just a regular anvil with the vise mounted to it?

I don't know, it's not local.
That's all the pictures he sent.

Yes it's two pieces. The vise is light duty that someone attached to the anvil.

Not a real anvil. The anvil part of a "farmers anvil vise".

Looks like they just bolted the littlestown vise to it where the vise parts were.

I advise you to not buy it unless they come down to $20 and then only maybe.

The farmers anvil vises were never good at being a vise or an anvil.

That anvil in hollow, the vise screw goes through there.

It would have looked something like this, depending on the maker and "options" it had.

OK, thanks.

Yeah, hollow anvil don't sound good.
Thanks
