I have a used Wilton 1755. 5-1/2" Jaw Width, 5" Jaw Opening, 3-3/4" Throat Depth.
Mechanically, its perfect. smooth travel, no slop, the jaw alignment you would expect from a new Wilton.
Its problems: some flaking in the paint and a bit of surface rust. Some dings on the anvil. Cracked jaw insert (new inserts for this vise are about $30 for a pair).
Edit: I made up a set of smooth vise jaws that I'm going to throw in to sweeten the deal. I'm afraid with this thrown in I'm going to remove the OBO from the price. The price is $200, shipped ($215 shipped to the west coast).
Lowest internet price I've seen for these is $325 (new). I would like to get $200 for this, including shipping. Add $15 for shipping to the west coast.
I'd be happy to take more pics or answer questions.

Here are some pics of the jaws installed.
