For starters I scored this guy in the late spring of this year through CL. It was apparently left outside for a while, but other than the surface rust it operated 100% and had minimal use (or should I say abuse?). The first pic is when I first acquired it. You can see the transition to what it currently looks like.

I restored this a few weeks ago, and it's too pretty for my garage. I have a large CP which I'll take to the grave with me. Using this guy would be like cheating on the Parker. I fully took it apart, soaked it in a molasses bath for three weeks, gave it a lacquer thinner bath and polished up all the parts with the wire wheel, cookie grinder, bench grinder, sandpaper etc. etc. It's ready to use. The only thing it is missing is one of the three screws which hold the lead screw strap in place. It was there when I took it apart, but cannot for the life of me seem to find it. I had it at my dad's shop for the molasses soak, so I'm hoping it's on the bench where I tore it down.

I am a BIT negotiable on the price. Shipping will be on you. I will only accept paypal and you will have to add the 3% to our agreed upon price to cover the fees they charge. My paypal address is [email protected].

Here's the completed vise. I will give the can of paint to the buyer if they need to do any touch ups. The specs are 3.5" jaws, about 14-14 1/2" long and it weighs a tad over 37lbs.
