I had grabbed a few items from my dads pile'o'stuff. A couple of Craftsman vise's and an United Delco sign, with the clock and it still works.
Just don't know which vice to mount..any suggestions?

Mount the large one on the bench, and when you find a stand of sorts, mount the small one on that so you can take it outside to grind and paint on...

Having the large one on the bench will allow you to drill/tap/lightly bend sheetmetal/etc.

Very cool sign clock! Any idea as to it's age?

I'd certainly mount the larger vise. Depending on the size of your shop, you may want to consider mounting the smaller one somewhere on the other side of your shop, to prevent having to walk back and forth.

It's from the '60s to mid-'70s.

After GM merged United Motors Service and Delco to form United Delco, and before they merged the AC Spark Plug Division with United Delco to form AC-Delco.

Thanks for the info, I remember it in my dads garage when we moved to the farm in 1978, not sure how he got it.
